RE: There are some awfully rich personal injury lawyers out there that never heard of Yale or Harvard.

Johnny Cochran ( of OJ Simpson fame ) went to Loyola Marymount Law School.

F. Lee Bailey Bailey received his LL.B. from Boston University.

Chris Christie (former Atty. general of NJ ) got his Law Degree from Seton Hall.

just to name three..

When you hear people talk about Harvard and Yale like they are the only way to go... they are just exhibiting regional bias. Those are the top schools in the North East. Thus if you live in the North East those are the schools you would aspire to attend and that most extremely successful professionals in the region have gone too.

But there are amazing schools in different regions and in those regions the same rule applies. Most of the extremely successful professional IN THOSE REGIONS go to the top schools in THOSE REGIONS.

What has confused the matter is that up until fairly recently in history the population of the US was heavily weighted to the North East. That is no longer is the case. The North East is shrinking in fact while the South and West are growing extremely fast.
