Law offices love names, that's their shyt. Trust me, I have friends going to law schools in a couple of states.
I've actually had a couple of people who transferred to a law school with a bigger name and almost immediately received internships at law firms (THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY TURNED THEM DOWN) just because of the new names. Kids don't aim to go to big law schools just to do it, the NAME of the law school matters a lot. Even if their are SOME positions that will give preferential treatment to smaller/lesser ranked schools, these are exceptions to the rule. Why else do you think applicants to law schools are so concerned about rankings? If you've ever been on a law school campus, these kids WAIT on the annual rankings as if they're the next Spider-Man comic, it's crazy. What the clown above you, as well as you yourself, are talking about is the exception to the rule, but by and large, the higher your law school ranking on a national scale, the more likely you are to get a good internship/position.
- This thread took a side turn because people were offended that I pointed out the school in the O/P wasn't that highly ranked, so now they're trying to turn it in to a race issue. I never said anything bad about HBCU's at all, but you know how much the militants on this site love to be offended
If you don't believe me then whats the point of law school rankings at all? Why do you think kids fight tooth and nail to get higher LSAT scores so they can get in to those higher ranked law schools? You think it's just random?
