[quote=Anonymous]Op you can go on any of the big law websites and see what people’s undergrad and law schools were. There’s no exact formula, but usually a top 10-15 law firm will give you a decent chance at going into big law, and it’s practically guaranteed to get an offer coming from a top 5 law school as long as you’re a reasonably social person. Get more junior you are, the more unpredictable your hours are (I know many colleagues who worked on Thanksgiving and the following days after) especially when more junior. I’m in a niche litigation practice and now don’t often work holidays because I can plan ahead now and am directing work streams. But it’s still a ton of work. It’s not for anyone who doesn’t really want to be here. Lots drop out throughout the years because they went to law school without a vision or soon thereafter figured out they dont enjoy having 0 absolutely guaranteed off time. [/quote]
