Wrong
I saw that first year associates at for profit firms are now making $145,000/year. In this twisted country, a nominal increase in the minimum wage is up for public debate at the same time salaries for first year associates have seen roughly a one-third increase over the last 5 years. Wrongness.
I don't think non-lawyers appreciate just how ignorant recent law graduates are. I speak from personal experience. I know plenty of attorneys in legal aid or non-profits who make less than half of that amount after TWENTY years of practice. The pay disparity is unconscionable. Am I bitter? OF COURSE.
