Right. Look at who did handle the only DMCA trial: Martin Garbus, someone whose personality may be lacking in some ways, but not a lawyer who came right out of law school.
I'm not sure how EFF pays, I suspect not particularly well. The high end corporate firms generally start their first year associates around $110-125k or so for top end of the top school graduates. More in New York maybe. The _median_ salary for a Stanford law grad is $95,000.00 if they go into corporate practice. Just over $40,000.00 for public sector work.
EFF in 1999: Salaries and names of top officials: Tara Lemmey Exec. Director $110,577 Shari Steele Legal Dir. $82,400 Money spent on salary: $ 462,368 CDT in 1999: Salaries and names of top officials: Alan Davidson Staff Counsel $ 59,125 Deirdre Mulligan Staff Counsel $ 82,037 James Dempsey Calea Fellow $ 95,221 John Morris Broadband Director $ 71,923 These are all lawyers with a decade or more of work experience. -Declan
