1. Maybe this is a Meta-question, but why big law firm. Is it really just as simple as the money. I would like to know from the people who pursue it what they get out of it, why they stick with it, etc.?

2. How does one successfully complete a summer associateship, and their first few years at a firm?

3. As a conscious person, how do i distinguish between levels of social harm. All of the schools I have attended have big endowments, operate like corporations and do things that don't further my personal goals towards social change. What makes a law firm different. Is the issue whether or not I utilize them(these schools & a firm) for what they give me to get where I want? Is the question whether the ends justify the means?
