$310 seems high for a paralegal, even at a big firm.
- enraged_camel 11y agoThat's what the paralegals are billed at. The firm keeps most of that as profit.
- goodcanadian 11y agoWell, there are also a lot of real costs over and above salary. Benefits, office space, computers, telephone, utilities, toilet paper, expenses of all sorts, really.
- bro-stick 11y agoExactly, that's the most profitable line-item. Paralegal's take-home pay varies considerably, between $15/ and $30/hr, with a few commanding much more. And do most of the work and get paid the least.

- monochromatic 11y agoOh, I know how that works. I'm a lawyer, although not at a big firm, so I'm not sure how much they bill their paralegals out at.
