    Criminal defense. Microsoft has a law firm on retainer, with specialists in various areas to handle various issues (IP, contracts, employment, liability, and so on.) The lawyers get a cut of the retainer according to their pecking order – partners, jr. partners, and so on. By the time it trickles down to the law clerks who are doing the grunt work, there isn’t much left.
    Celebrities, on the other hand, will pay a lot of $$ to avoid bad press and/or jail time, and a good criminal defense lawyer gets to keep the biggest piece of the pie for him/herself.

    Well overall, lawyers who do class action lawsuits are civil litigators by trade.
    In general, civil litigators make more than criminal defense attorneys, but it is really on a case by case basis.
