Thursday, 23rd March Big-Firm Alternatives for Graduates By Charisse Dengler Do you want to brandish your shiny new law degree in a big way, but aren't too keen on the idea of joining a big firm? Never fear. Alternatives are here. For those law students who feel that bigger isn't necessarily better, the first and most common option to consider would be a smaller firm. Because small firms don't have large support staffs, lawyers are usually allowed to work in different areas and get on-the-job experience immediately upon joining. Also, small firms give more outgoing personalities the chance to get out of the library or office and actually interact with clients. This option provides much more variety than larger firms can. more here >> Federal Student Loan Reconsolidation If you consolidated your student loans a few years ago and think you are stuck with the high interest rate you received, Law School Loans may be able to provide you with some relief.
