It's hard to pinpoint down on worst. Probably a midlaw firm like Winstead that doesn't pay market but has market work expectations

Idk about patent or whatever but just taking this opportunity since you mention Ft Worth to remind everyone that it’s funny how a small sect of (deeply unserious) people there view that KHH place as impressive lol

TIA!

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).
