<p>Yes. In law, they call it ‘bimodal salary distribution’. Try to google it and you will see what I am talking about. There are those high paying jobs in six figures (NLJ250) and the rest, most of which will pay you 35-50k starting out. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, in law, there isn’t much of ‘middle ground’ for entry level jobs. You either make it to BigLaw, or likely to end up in either ‘$hit-law’ - such as one of those personal injury, divorce settlement, or insurance defense shops with like 3 lawyers that pay you 35-45k a year, or you end up unemployed.</p>
<p>Where you attend law school is the most important factor in your career in law. Choose and act accordingly, or adjust your expectations. For example, if you do decide to go to U Miami Law, you should put the idea of those six figure, BigLaw jobs to rest, effectively.</p>
