 A recent study has released the average salaries for 2007 law grads.  While the trends are that salaries are increasing, some are concerned with the bimodal distribution (high numbers at both extremes).  Some numbers:

Over 1/3 (38%) make under $55,000 per year.

Nearly half (42%) are making between $40,000 and $60,000 per year.

Over 1/5th (22%) are making over $145,000 per year.
