Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 27th, 2012 10:57 AM Author: bistre parlour police squad I'm interested in going into personal injury. I liked torts and cali'd it. Is anyone actually familiar with the PI market in Chicago? I'm only interested in working for a firm that is very selective about the cases it takes.
What's like... the top 5 in Chicago? |

Date: January 28th, 2012 12:59 PM Author: gold marvelous party of the first part Thanks for pointing that out. I was simply suggesting that if he takes a broad view of "personal injury," such that it includes excessive force and illegal searches and seizures, then Loevy & Loevy has the market there. But thanks anyways, bro. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1859348&forum_id=2#19852470) |

Date: January 27th, 2012 11:46 AM Author: boyish digit ratio You don't want to work on the plaintiff's side out of school man. Personal injury is an old boys' network, and the best cases go to only a few firms. Those firms do not promote associates to partner generally, generally do not pay associates very well, and do not allow associates to get the same experience in high level cases that they could get on the defense side. Out of school, you want to go to a smaller defense side firm that is known for trying the nastiest cases. From there, if you are good, you can make a name for yourself and possibly jump to the other side after ten years or so. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1859348&forum_id=2#19847069) |

No one gives a fuck if you had a 4.0 or went to Harvard... and those things kind of suck if, you know, you had a 4.0 and went to Harvard.
