Some T14 law schools place more students into clerkships (with relatively lower pay) and into public interest jobs.

</p>

<p>But the vast majority of the clerks will go on to biglaw, so the stats are a little misleading.</p>

$160K is not realistic anymore.

</p>

<p>It was never realistic for most law students. It’s still realistic for some of them, just not as many as a few years ago.</p>

<p>

If our Fort 500 was hiring (which it isn’t), the starting salary would be closer to $60-$75K depending on whether the position was in corporate headquarters or a subsidiary. We are not in NYC/Boston/Chicago etc. though

<p>OK, but this is for a non-law firm in a non-major market. I wouldn’t expect the salaries to be comparable.</p>
