Law Firms / Re: Is it better to work in a law firm than in a company?« on: August 24, 2007, 01:13:04 AM »
Working in-house generally necessitates a significant paycut. Recently, in-house attys are working comparable hours to those at firms; it's not nearly as great a lifestyle as it was 10 years ago. If you have the opportunity to work for a real firm, do it.

Law Firms / Re: Anyone know of firms that hire 1Ls?« on: August 24, 2007, 01:11:42 AM »
As mentioned above, just check NALP. Failing that, talk to the career services at your school. They'll point you in the right direction.

Law Firms / Re: Big Law Firms (Why is it so hard for everyone to figure out)« on: August 24, 2007, 01:07:29 AM »Quote If you're talking about moving to a small-midsized firm, NOT bloody likely. Small/mid-sized firms hold a stigma against BIGLAW associates for two main reasons. (1) they are used to making more money than small/mid-sized firms are willing to pay. (2) BIGLAW associates do not have the skill level necessary. That's patently false. It's very easy to move from BIGLAW to a small or midsized firm, as anyone who has worked in BIGLAW can readily attest. Look through the bios at a reasonably competent midlaw firm and you'll see that virtually all of them lateraled over from BIGLAW. 64
