Types of Law Jobs, Salaries, and Chances of Getting Them?

Post by ksllaw » Tue Sep 04, 2012 1:16 pm

Hello,

This is a multi-faceted question that hopefully will be of help to us 0L's (and maybe others) figuring out what options in the legal market may lay ahead for us if we decide to go to and complete law school.

a.) What different types of law jobs are there (title and duties)?

b.) What are the respective salaries (generally) of these different types of law jobs?

c.) What are a person's chances of landing these respective jobs?

I greatly appreciate everyone's time and help and look forward to people's insights! Thank you!

These questions are so open-ended and the answers to them vary so much as to be almost meaningless.

But basically all you need to know is this is quite literally the worst legal market for new grads that has ever existed. You almost certainly go to law school.
