Hi, I'm a 2L at Duke Law School and I'm interested in moving to New Orleans in the near future. Just like everyone else I wanted to go to some BigLaw firm in New York but everyone I know that works there tells me it's a nightmare. Would anyone know how much partners make or can make at these firms? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

And you think this is the place to find answers to that type of question?

A partner? A lot. Like, a lot a lot.

But you have to bill a bajillion hours a year for 20 years to get to that point.

They do well enough for Baton Rouge, I know that much. Why don't you do your own fricking legwork and go look at their directory, then cross-reference partner names with their property values using EBR/Ascension Parish property tax search. Then compare that to the median appraised value of houses in the same area with median salaries.

Lazy frick. I'd never make you a partner of jack shite except an MMF threeway.

One of my good friend is a partner at JW in New Orleans. Can't say definitively how much he makes because it would be in bad taste to discuss.

Wife doesn't work. Nice house in Lakeview. Private school/college for kids.

He definitely doesn't out ball me, but it's probably close.

300k-ish

If you think Duke is a southern school culturally you're wrong.
