Usually one's most recent degree matters more, but it could vary depending upon the field of employment.

Not in the case of one who earns a law degree and wants to practice law and not the case if one earns an MBA from an elite MBA program in order to switch fields.

I have a joint mba/jd from a top school. You’re not telling me anything I don’t know.

Both. There was just a story about how attending a top law school doesn’t “cure” having a less prestigious college on your resume when seeking SCOTUS clerkships. That’s an extreme example, but still.

Is it because Ivy undergrads plus ivy law are more likely to be from well connected families?

I would think that has something to do with it, along with an extended halo effect.
