White House Counsel Salaries

Ever wonder how much White House Counsel makes? It turns out to not be much. Just How Much Do Lawyers in The White House Make is an interesting July 6, 2009 law.com article that discusses this very issue. This article reports that  White House Counsel Gregory Craig tops the list, at $172,200. His Deputy makes $158,500 and 12 Associate White House Counsel make about $130,000.   Click here for the full report on the salaries of White House staff and here (pdf) for a list with just the legal staff.

This job, of course, in addition to being exciting, will open doors when the attorney leaves office. Not a bad gig if you can get it. President Obama do you need an adjunct law professor!!
