Top Law Schools

So I know that the big time salary is in the 145 to 160k range, and I see the lower end salary jobs hover around 45 to 60k, but what about the middle? Are there any 80-120k jobs? I never really see those salaries mentioned and it seems like an important aspect when trying to gauge the risk of going to law school versus taking a job now and deciding not to attend. So simply put, do those salries really exist or are they pretty rare to come across? thanks

Plenty of jobs in non-major markets pay ~100K. Patent boutiques generally pay around that as well.

Those jobs are not as mythical as some would have you believe.

what is the highest starting salary you have heard of someone making upon graduation?

Uh 160K would be the biggest salary I've heard a grad getting straight out of law school.

Then you've never been to McKinsey. But working as a lawyer, yes.

If you have to ask, you're probably not gonna get one.
