[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many of you are missing the fact that this person -- clerkship, top school -- could have gone to big law, but spent ten years doing actual trials. Tenth year associates make 250 and barring stellar credentials are not that likely to make parmter or to have trial experience. They major around 250-300. It may not seem "fair" to you but many of the partners in big law are not long term former associates but rather come over from gov.[/quote]

He hasn't said (as of this post) that he does trial work.  Many in criminal just write briefs or policy position papers or appellate briefs.  Or they coordinate task forces.  AUSAs are a whole 'nother ballgame.  It's very difficult to even get those positions and then if you do, you are on your feet all the time arguing cases.  Still I don't see my firm bringing in an AUSA without clients.[/quote]

What kind of clients would you expect an AUSA to bring in?[/quote]

White collar crime clients.  [/quote]

How would they have those clients to bring in? [/quote]

Already answered, read the whole thread.[/quote]
