I was a little bored earlier, so I took a look at the first two firms that I could find in ME. Each of these firms had at least 35 attorneys, and one of them was a regional new england firm (I only looked at the ME offices). UMaine was the single most represented school that I saw when looking at associates only. It was probably only 20% of the associates, but there were more UMaine graduates than BU and BC combined.

That doesn't really help you with knowing your chances, but it at least shows that you have a path to a decent job from UMaine. I don't know what those attorneys were making, but I doubt it was $40k a year.

Thanks for that. I've been meaning to look up firms, but is there a better way to do it than google? For most law schools I just looked up their stats on lst (lawschooltransparency), which site do you think is best for getting information on firms?

Check out http://www.martindale.com/

It has some useful search functions, but I don't know that you'll be able to get statistical information out of it.

There's also a bunch of data on http://www.nalp.org/
