Top Law Schools

My friends were having an argument over drinks about this. I was wondering if you could settle it.

What do you guys think the #1 gig in Miami is for a graduating law student?

(Part of the bet is that I can't reveal our respective choices, but I will at the end...)

Thanks!

This isn't possible straight out of law school. They don't take graduates.

OP here. Touche, but I was hoping for legal related jobs.

weil has a miami office right?

So, I'll edit the thread and make a poll w/ the suggestions so far:

GT
Boies Schiller
Podhurst
Colson Hicks
Weil

Anyone else?

That'll teach you to appropriately narrow your scope.

There are occasionally entry level AUSA positions, I believe. Presumably in less desirable districts than S.D. Fla., but still.

Ok, but since the thread is Miami specific, that is a nice but irrelevant fact.

I would fear death from Columbian drug cartel. Might want to take that into account.

Sorry this is completely irrelevant to the thread. Also sorry for using the anon for my weil suggestion above.

Polls Up. Vote away. Add suggestions if you'd like

Starting Salary:

GT ????????
Boies 174K plus MEGA bonus
Weil 160K plus bonus
Podhurst ????????
Colson ????????
H&K 125K plus bonus
White & Case 135K plus bonus


Boies is the clear winner in salary.

Reboot . I made it my avatar for moments like this

6 votes is kind of pathetic. C'mon people! Both our opinions are up in the poll. Settle this for us!

Isn't market in Miami 130? Do any of them start at 160? Not that pay is the deciding factor, but it's a consideration.

Edit: Sorry just saw above post about pay. Fail. Should start reading threads before posting.

I think the answer has to incorporate what this said law student wants to do. If they want to stay in florida long term i think the florida-based firms like GT are probably the best route. However if they want to do NY work or go elsewhere eventually, then a firm like weil or boies makes more sense.
