An associate's billing rate is $200/hour (the amount will charge a client)
An assignment normally will cost a client $2K (usually set for transaction work, such as patent prosecution)
The associate worked 20 hours to finish the assignment; however, he/she can only bill 10 hours to the client. The associate must eat the other 10 hours himself/herself. Sometime, the client may even contest the billing, and the firm may agree to reduce by 10 to |

Some data points re: hours at biglaw firms -
http://www.averyindex.com/2007_longest_hours.php
http://www.averyindex.com/2007_shortest_hours.php
Of course actual work hours vary depending on your practice area, firm
location, and the overall market condition. Generally speaking, patent
prosecution has relatively stable and manageable hours, while corporate,
especially M&A in places like NYC and Hongkong, could have huge ups and
downs. When projects are busy, it is not uncommon to bill 300 hour

2. Law firm are not labs. But if you are doing patent prosecution, a PhD
degree is definitelt required. Patent prosecution is like writing a
scientific paper. You can not do it if you do not have a advanced degree.
Besides, if you do not have an advanced scientific degree,

D**********s 发帖数: 320 | 42 You do know that many Harvard graduates get into public interest or clerk
for judges right after they graduate. Those jobs don't get paid well, but
they are highly desirable for Harvard and Yale students. Harvard has an
excellent loan repayment program that allows its students to do public
interest work.
The average salary of UChicago or UMich is higher than Harvard's precisely
because not many students there are interested in public interest or
clerkship.

You will see that salaries in the legal profession follow a bi-modal
distribution. There are nearly as many 6-figure salary earning law grads as
"poor" law grads. Citing a low average salary as you did does not tell the
whole story. For reasonably diligent people who manage to get into a top-

r********e 发帖数: 86 | 65 大家说的都对,只是针对人群不同.中国学生读法律,只能针对高端市场.无它,只有大所
才有足够business到雇外国人做,大型客户的大案子,要成组的律师来做,外国junior律
师不需要跟客户直接打交道,在back office做paper work就好.国际相关业务,也一般找
大所做.外国律师的外国背景,很强的前个career的技能,都可以有帮助.而中小型所,跟
小客户打交道,做美国本土小型生意,不需要一个有口音外国人的特殊技能.
所以律师收入的disparity,对美国人适用.对大多数只寻找top律所工作的中国学生来说
,并没有多大意义,有意义只是高端工作情况.
当然很多非top法学院毕业的中国学生选择做移民或者solo,想来不在大多数人的最先考
虑之列,所以暂不讨论. |
i****y 发帖数: 5184 | 66 呵呵,我问那个yale law的summer associate为什么来我们所,她说,同学都去
clerking了,我去不了啊
相比之下,中国人的法律发展面的确比美国人窄了一块,不过就像你说的我们特殊的背
景也成就了我们可能把握一些特殊的机遇。

a**d 发帖数: 31 | 72 Calm down. No need to get a heart attack over my post. I was only trying
to share with you some well-researched data which is relevant to the
subjects of your previous posts. Maybe I was assuming too much by thinking
that you would be reasonably open to new information.
I think people have problem with your initial statements because they are
too one-sided. Your first post on this thread attacks the credibility of
another post containing nothing but the market salary for biglaw. I see you

F**********s 发帖数: 54 | 73 看了abcd等诸位先生的发言,我深为自已的言论感到悔恨。我不该介绍law school毕业
生的事实上的总体情况,因为这里大家大都是精英,大都是牛B的人物,大都LSAT能考
170或者175以上,大都只瞄准一流的law School及牛B的大firm去,也大都有能力进得
去一流的law school和牛B的大firm。我对你们的景仰,正如滔滔江水,川流不息~~!
我诚恳的祝愿各位第一年associate就拿17万的梦圆! |
