  • Summary

    The first year or two of rural practice has been financially fraught for lawyers in the Rural Attorney Recruitment Program, but earnings have steadily increased for most lawyers. This chapter considers the financial position of the lawyers, looking at hourly rates, salary, benefits, government pay, and pay structure. It also considers the importance of the stipend and how lawyers used the stipend, concluding that the stipend was crucial for most lawyers.
