Public Interest California

Although it is common knowledge that lawyers who work for city or federal government are paid relatively less compared to BigLaw, I noticed that there are some cities in California that pay their attournies handsomely. For example, the assistant City attourney in Santa Monica cleared about 300k in salary. Would these sort of jobs be limited to those who went Top 14 law schools?

    I'm sure there are exceptions to every rule... I think most City Attorneys and state Attorneys General I've seen have been T14 or close. But take Kamala Harris - UC Hastings. I think it's always possible, just maybe a harder road if you're coming from a lower tier school.
