I did a deal a few years back
A big one in my little universe
50k in contract work for the firm I hired
One of the big 5 in Nashville.....250 member firm
We were in one of their conference rooms working late on my deal doing numbers and negotiating points with seller etc....running up legal and CPA tabs
One lawyer was Georgetown law another Vandy and another Virginia or Tulane
What passes for southern Ivy League
I was teasing them about how smart they all were considering I was lowly Ole Miss BA who did take the LSAT in 1979
A young associate piped in he was university of Memphis school of law and he got paid same as they did until any of them made full partner
So there you are....be at the top and of your class and do moot court and law review and you’ll get picked up regardless
If u go to a name school and excel you’ll be the cream but otherwise the schools matter less
Go to Harvard and lead class and Cravath Swain and Moore will pick you up fresh at 200-250 a year and expect you to bill 90 hours a week
Enjoy that
One of my sapmill co-graduates went to some prestigious law school. vandy? etc. he was president or treasurer of pike or lambchops. google stalked him 5 or 6 years ago he was selling junk bonds.
I was seriously think of law school (i love to argue :) ) until I took ap chem as a hs senior.
