Law firms typically pay summers pro rata what first-year associates make, and back then I think firms like Sidley started at about $60,000/year. These days they start at $160,000, and pay summers $3,000/week. Quite the steal for the lwa student, but the goal is obviously to rope you in to returning full-time so they can bill you out for far more than they pay you as a young associate.
Eh, I’ve been around a lot longer, but switched monikers because I didn’t like my old one (which I got years ago). But thanks anyway.
How many summers did he work as an intern?
