It seems other than private practice or corporate law, salaries aren’t as high as one would expect. Is it worse for public law schools? [/quote]

It's complicated and not worth addressing in a post. Search for bi-modal salary distribution, and also understand that salary numbers are skewed by grads who clerk right after law school. In any event, whether a law school is public or private is immaterial. What matters is whether it's T14 or not. Top 14 law school grads have much better outcomes and better options. [/quote]

Except that T14 is really T25.  And T26-50 have the same results at the top 10% of their classes[/quote]

No it's not.  The depth that firms and judges go into the class vary greatly between the T14 and the T25.  And the caliber of firm and judge that hires grads is greatly different between T14 and T25.  And I hope you realize that virtually every student entering into a T26-50 THINKS that they're going to be in the top 10%.  There is a sea of difference between the T14 and everything else.  And let me tell you, having attended law school during the Great Recession, I was damn glad to be at a T14.[/quote]
