Vanderbilt is in the top 25 business schools and has a 3-year joint Law/MBA program.
Vanderbilt had better give this individual a scholarship ;)
Good suggestion. Certain niches are worth looking into like tax attorneys/CPA or intellectual property. If this fellows son is an engineer type from GA Tech then intellectual property and technical law is worth consdidering.
He also needs to look around to determine the top 20 to 30 schools not just top 10. Go to a web site and look at the big firms and see where the partners went. It is on their web sites.
There are a lot of great schools like Virginia, Univ of Michigan and others that are not Top 5 but are big names.
The legal profession does suck. His son needs to try to find some attorneys who actually like doing it and find out what niches they are in.
A law degree and MBA or CPA can help in getting a management gig at a bigger company or CPA firm too.
