Update: Check out more interesting data at Adam Smith, Esq.

As a member of the Law.com Blog Network, InhouseBlog has the ability to give you a sneak peek at certain American Lawyer Media content before it is released to the general public.  Each year the legal community awaits the release of the AmLaw 100, which contains data on the revenue and profits on the largest law firms in the world. 

Check out the top 10 firms here.  Here is a little information about the chart - you can use the info the next time you speak to your outhouse counsel to get additional concessions on your bills:

"Five Am Law 200 firms posted gross revenue in excess of $1 billion in 2004, the largest number ever. Sidley Austin Brown & Wood broke the billion-dollar barrier for the first time in 2004, while the others did so previously — Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in 1999; Baker & McKenzie in 2001; and Latham & Watkins and Jones Day in 2003. Gross revenue figures on this chart are rounded to the nearest $500,000. Firms that tied in the rankings are listed alphabetically. Some firms provided fractional full-time equivalent or full-year equivalent lawyer numbers, which were rounded up to the nearest whole number. Firms marked with an asterisk have more than one partnership tier or some partners who are predominantly on fixed-income status."
