10) Michigan
11) Duke law school

The Top 14 law schools are the most elite law schools in the US and are considered by many to be the only national law schools as their graduates routinely are hired by the biggest law firms throughout the nation.

Most major law firms ("biglaw") in the US pay on a lockstep pay scale during an associate's first 8 years :

Year 1: Base salary = $215,000 plus expected end-of-year bonus = $20,000 = Total of $235,000
Year 2 : $225,000 plus $30,000 bonus = $255,000
Year 3 : $250,000 base plus $57,500 bonus = $307,500
Year 4 : $295,000 plus $75,000 = $370,000

Year 5 : $345,000 plus $90,000 = $435,000
Year 6 : $370,000 plus $105,000 = $475,000
Year 7 : $400,000 plus $115,000 = $515,000
Year 8 : $415,000 plus $115,000 = $530,000

Biglaw firms hire mostly from the Top 14 law schools.

Most remain in biglaw for just 4 or 5 years due to burnout. Biglaw associates are expected to bill around 2,000 hours per year in order to receive the year end bonus.
