Midlaw
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 27th, 2012 1:46 PM Author: excitant nursing home Subject: What makes it? Obviously fewer hours and less pay have a lot to do with it...
But how many fewer hours? <2000?
How much less pay? 80-120k?
Does market location play a role? |

Date: January 27th, 2012 1:58 PM Author: Provocative navy sound barrier abode Depends on what you define as midlaw.
Places like Howard and Rice in San Francisco pay market, do biglaw quality work, and expect biglaw billable.
Places like Dykema in Chicago do not pay market, does biglaw type of work but not necessarily quality, and may or may not expect biglaw billable.
So, give us some names of the firms you have in mind. |

You are listing the premier firms in a lot of third-tier cities with small legal markets -- I think if you want true midlaw you need to look at second tier firms in larger markets where the firm will not be hired for the local bet-the-company litigation. |
