Overall, lawyers' pay tops other professions'; gap between big-firm attorneys and other lawyers is still huge
Article Abstract:
Lawyers' pay improved in most areas nationwide in 1994 following several years of stable or decreasing earnings, though raises rarely topped 3%. The nation's largest law firms saw gross and per-partner profits rise sharply, with associates' salaries up only slightly. Government attorneys' pay also rose modestly, especially for entry-level jobs. Non-law firm pay rose less, though law professors' pay was up 4.2% to $83,900. The profession remains the best-paid in the country at a median of $58,032.

Massive bonuses are the news of the hour
Article Abstract:
Attorneys made more in 1995 than in prior years. Only five of the 28 law firms responding to the National Law Journal Survey reported decreased earnings, and most of such decreases were minor. Salaries for large-firm associates remained the same, as a rule. Many firms made performance-driven bonuses an increasingly large part of salary. Tables give the compensation of attorneys in various sectors such as public defenders, public interest lawyers and government attorneys.
