But I'll address your comment. Many law students discover that they would be much better off NOT going to a big name school. All that counts in the hiring of graduates is class ranking and law review. IOW--ninety percent of the student body exists to support the upper ten percent. Law firms ignore the rest of the grads. This is true even in "lesser" law schools. Therefore, you've got a better shot at a better job if you choose a law school not so highly ranked where you have a better shot at being in the top ten.
It'd be amusing to see the lower ninety just drop out of school once they know they're not going to be in the top ten. That'd show the law school faculty...
I'd like to see our law schools cut down to ten percent capacity, anyway. Who needs all these lawyers? It's a pestilence!!
I was accepted at 2 law schools and got in both. One was a top 5, one ranked variously from 7-9. But the decision was really easy for me because I got in-state tuition at the latter -- $4100 rather than $16,000 per year. I also had a girlfriend in state, and saw no reason to leave. I've run into lots of law students over the years who made similar decisions, very often based on the availability of tuitions and scholarships. That's why this criticism is so bogus.
I went to the same law school as Laura Ingraham. Would she have been "inferior" to me if I'd decided to go to the higher-ranked school instead?
