I am wondering where the majority of lawyers work. I know the majority work in private firms, but in what size firms are most lawyere employed? Judging by that fact that lawyers on average make well short of what entering associates at megafirms make, I am tempted to think most attorneys work at smaller sized firms.
Yet why is it that these smaller firms are never really mentioned as employment opportunities (most people seem to talk of either BIGLAW or Public Interest), and how does one go about securing employment in smaller firms when so few of them actually conduct on campus interviews?
