I am curious about the following points and would appreciate inputs from advocates practicing or having knowledge of these courts.
1. Whether seniors usually charge per hearing or per case brief. What kind of retainers or conference fees are common there
2. Rough range of fees charged by the top 2 or 3 names in each of these high courts, both per case/per hearing and per year.
3.What the 10-15 lawyers in those courts usually make yearly.
4. Fees charged by top non designated seniors.
5. What a typical advocate in these states earns after around 5,10 years of practice
Looking for insights based on actual practice, not speculations because we usually have figures about metro cities and 2-3 other High Courts. This thread might help young lawyers who are considering litigation careers in these smaller hill states and want a realistic picture of the profession there.
