cryingWe spend a lot of time here at Above the Law detailing the exploits of people that have used their Biglaw background to do… anything but the law.

These Biglaw refugees can go on to any manner of distinguished careers: president of the National Basketball Retired Players Association, political commentator, sports reporter, bestselling author, reality TV star, novelist, or professional wrestler, and they serve as a reminder to all those still mired in the billable hour rat race that escape is possible.

Celebrating those that have come before, Big Law Business has put together a list of former Biglaw associates, and the Am Law 200 firms they once slaved away at, who are now famous. Enjoy the list and start daydreaming about the future of celebrity where you worry about Snapchat wars, not exchanging interrogatories.
