Angel, I’m not sure there is one. Lawyers are often members of private law practices, under no obligation to disclose salaries. In fact, a law firm that goes public with its salaries probably does itself a disservice in terms of attracting the best quality recent law school graduates.
The areas in which your interests appear to lie tend to be the poorer-paying, but rewarding in other ways.
