Nick Robinson, 26, who graduated from Yale University's law school last spring, works as a clerk for the Indian Supreme Court. He's making $16,500 for a nine-month stint through a fellowship, a signing bonus at many American law firms. Here, it's a decent wage - an Indian clerk earns about $3,330 in nine months.
"Some people ask me why did I come," said Robinson. "But if you get the chance to clerk for a very well-respected Supreme Court in the largest democracy in the world, that's an opportunity you want to pursue."

Thanks for the info and link.
Not relevant factoid: In China, the gov. has decreed that dogs in cities can be no taller than 17". Why 17? Maybe it has to do with metric...
