Above the Law blog has already posted on this subject a couple of times in the past month..
but they tell us they’ve had a lot more subsequent tips on 1st year pay – so here’s their intro and the pay list –
Last month, we brought you Open Thread: Nationwide Start Date Round-up. After a flood of tips in response to that, we brought you an Expanded Nationwide Start Date Round-up. After that post, we got another deluge of tips. So now we bring you the latest and greatest round-up: more firms, more 2010 start dates, more pro bono deferral opportunities
