Why? Cause kauai aint producing any lawyers. Maybe 1 a decade. And thats because your island's culture cant get a person through high school without being a parent or addicted to meth. You have to import your lawyers, whereas the mainland and oahu has homegrown talent. So quit your bitching about having to pay a premium and go get your law degree.

Generally, a local prosecutor starts his career with a modest salary. As he gains seniority and experience within the prosecutor’s office, his salary rises. A salary survey in 2010 conducted by the National Association for Law Placement indicated that an entry-level local prosecuting lawyer earned a median salary of $50,000, and for between 11 and 15 years of experience the median salary was $81,500.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-744884841548708642016-03-01T08:46:58.151-10:002016-03-01T08:46:58.151-10:006:09, obviously you don't know very much. &qu...6:09, obviously you don't know very much.
