Note that the reported percentages are based on respondent participation in voluntary surveys conducted by the specified employer organization and that the results are reported as a percentage of the respondents who answered the question (which may be different than the total number of lawyers at the organization). Only percentages above a certain minimum threshold are reported in accordance with the policies of employer organizations to protect employee privacy. As such, the total of the percentages to some questions may not equal 100%. In addition, some employers may not be able to answer in the manner requested, due to the nature of their data collection, the nature of the consents sought when the information was collected or due to reporting limitations on sample size.
