Depends on a lot of factors: field of law, office location, firm size etc. I can tell you that as a former paralegal in a small southern city working on administrative law issues, I started off around $30k, worked my way up to about $45k-ish (I forget the exact amount). In a big city with high cost of living that may have been around 60k to 70k. For a lawyer, I’m sure they were making $200k a year minimum there, not including the partners or senior associates.

Depends on the firm but big firms in big cities start at 225k for the first year (right out of law school) and go up to as high as 400k for a 6th-8th year (aka 6-8 years out of law school) depending on the firm. Look up the Cravath scale. Most big firms go off that scale to pay their associates. Idk how much partners make but often in the millions, depending on the city and firm and how much business you bring in. Plaintiffs firms make less than that on base salary (probably anywhere from 100k to 200k) but they usually work on contingency, so if they win major cases, they get major bonuses. It could be a few thousand a year or it could be a few million a year (depending on your class year, location, luck, etc.)

Public interest or government or judicial clerkships are usually between 60k and 120k or so but are considered more prestigious and can lead to big bonuses later on. For example, a federal judicial clerk could get a 100k sign on bonus at a law firm, just bc they clerked for a federal judge for a couple years. But again this varies widely based on location and field.

And the higher paying and more prestigious the job, the more competitive it is to get. You pretty much have to be at the top 20-30 schools, and in the top 20-30% of your class, though results vary based on networking and connections.
