I am thinking of attending law school and would like to stay in the Chicago area after I graduate. I know that attorneys make pretty good money, but I was wondering:
What is a typical starting salary for an attorney at a good Chicago law firm?

Attorneys salaries vary widely. It is not possible to generalize. Much depends on the market as well as your particular credentials. Plan to go to the best school you can and plan to graduate from the top of your class if you hope to be employed and if you hope to maximize your salary. However, these days, the job market for attorneys is very tight.
