Who pays lawyers salary...

See, the best paid it for lawyers are banks ND big manufacturing firms...

U see bug law firms.. na lie.. they are too stingy and don't pay... Moreover, if u go as an inhouse lawyer to firms.. u cease to use ur call to bar.. u only become a legal adviser.. no court room drama
