Is an AM Law 100 firm considered Big Law. It's not just white shoe firms that hire federal clerks and federal appointees is it? And it doesn't necessarily have to be on the Cravath pay scale right? Asking for a friend

AmLaw 100 is considered big law but if and only if it pays market. Only exceptions I can think of are Wachtell and Susman (which pay above market) and Jones Day which is weird but definitely considered big law. Firms that pay below market are generally not considered big law even if they are large.
