In a small/mid-sized firm, how is the salary decided between after you graduated and until you are sworn in?
Law clerk or even below paralegal rates? (like $20~30/h)?
The firm I am interviewing is trying to lowball. I recently graduated and have no job lined up.
How is the salary calculated until sworn in? Forum
