Do SAs generally get benefits? My eyes are getting worse, but I'll hold off getting new glasses until the summer if I'll be covered then.

No, as far as I know there's no firm that gives benefits to summers. Eye doctor isn't covered by your school insurance?

Benefits or not, you can probably afford new glasses at SA pay....

But it's only mid-law!

I didn't think so, but I thought I'd check. I'm not on my school insurance plan.

Most long term interesting benefits (medical coverage, retirement benefits, transportation benefits) are often off-limits to summers. A lot of smaller "benefits" (corporate discounts/relationships - often from clients) can be available though.

Mid-law comes in all sorts of colors and sizes ― including $100K on up.

I know I was only kidding. Associates start at $110.

Never mind...srry

Your offer letter will tell you the answer...generally.

Hmmm that's something I haven't considered... COBRA would be like $1-2k a month for me with a family... That would suck...
