These questions are truly unanswerable with any real certainty. It will vary widely from firm to firm, even with a particular market.Anonymous User wrote:I live in a flyover state in a smaller city.

Thanks. Most of my offers have been around 12, as low as 10, and high as 15 so sounds about right.PvblivsScipio wrote:FWIW I got $12 in LA at a 3 attorney firm.

FWIW, last summer I got $15/hr from a solo practitioner in Beverly Hills as a 1L. I think you can definitely do better than $10-12/hour if you're a decent negotiator.
