Cannot believe manhattan DA starts at 52k. That's like 4 dollars after COL + taxes. That's less than many new DAs get in rural Colorado.

Kalvano seriously curious what do DAs make in rural Texas?

Saw postings ranging from $35K to $50K. Just depends.

They also forgo mal practice insurance because not only are they judgment proof, but the clientele is often lower middle class and wouldn't have the money or wherewithal to take action against them.

Um, doesn't the state bar require malpractice insurance for private attorneys?

No. Maybe one or two states, dunno. But many/most go without.

Colorado makes you report whether you have it, at least.

Yeah I saw that. It's not mandatory though.

From 2000 but at that time only Oregon required it.

65% of Florida attorneys have it, so undoubtably most solos in Florida do not carry it.

Don't the state bar licensing board prosecute malpractice actions? All you have to do is fill out a form and they investigate.
