I found this answer on law.com and wsj.com

In-House Attorney:
As could be expected, in-house attorneys are not hurting for cash. The average base salary during the last fiscal year, the survey found, was $188,616, with a yearly bonus of $49,011. This fiscal year, the average Bay Area corporate counsel hopes to receive a $52,707 bonus.

Professor:
Salaries for full professors vary widely and remain undisclosed by most private schools. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual salary in 2006 for law teachers was $94,290. The median associate law professor salary, according to www.Salary.com, is $101,558. Salaries for full professors at the most elite law schools can range from $250,000 to $300,000 annually [.]

Court Clerks joining Law Firms:
Supreme Court law clerks that join law firms are now receiving signing bonuses of up to $250,000. On top of their $160,000 starting salaries, that has them making roughly double what their former bosses earn. (Chief Justice Roberts earns $212,000 a year; the other eight each make $203,000.)
