Starting Salary
I know the job market is bad right now but I was wondering if it was reasonable to think that one could start off between 50-70k graduating at least at the median of a tier 1 in a state in which it is also the highest ranked law school? What else would I need to compensate for the grade situation (Law Review, Moot Court, Mock Trial, Work Experience)?

Re: Starting Salary
If you mean Iowa or Ohio State, the midwest market isn't exactly doing very well... If you mean Maryland, the DC market is even worse, I heard.
ITE, you can't by any means expect to graduate with a 50-70k job with Median at a T1. However, you can probably expect to get one (no guarantee) within 9 months of graduation, but even if you get a job it will likely entail a painful job search.
