How many offers can I consider at once?
Pursuant to NALP Principles and Standards Part V.A.3, a student should not hold open more than five offers of employment at any one time. For each offer received that places a student over the offer limit, the students should, within one week or receipt of the excess offer, release an offer.
...
What if the employer I am interviewing with is not a NALP member or is not abiding by the NALP guidelines?
Compliance with the NALP Principles and Standards is voluntary. However, most NALP member employers and most law schools do take the Principles and Standards seriously because they respect the need for ethical guidelines to promote fairness in the interviewing and offer process. Violations of the NALP guidelines should be reported to your career services office.

The only meaningful consequence is that every morning you have to wake up and look at an insufferably indecisive clown in the mirror. Really, you can't even pick your top five?Anonymous User wrote:And what are the consequences of violating it?
