Default Re: Whose starting law school in the fall?

The main problem with practicing law is that lawyers work by the hour and are therefore limited by their own output. The more hours you work, the more money you earn (either for yourself or your partners), so there is ever-increasing pressure to work more more more hours. The partners at the big firms make great money, sure--but they have to keep billing billing billing to keep the money flowing.

Is no one here plaintiff's side? I cringe at the thought of chasing billable hours (even though I get that if you're in a decent position you won't lack for work to do). give me a case and we'll take a shot and count the money at the end. yeah it still involves a lot of hours. but at least it has an entrepreneurial edge to it.

my friend sent me a link to this firm in Texas I wish I could find. not very big, almost all from Texas schools and not even UT--mostly SMU. and the cases and settlements they listed were incredible.
