[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retired attorney. If one of my kids should become interested in law school, I would generally frame the goal as T14 or bust. (I have no opinion on Georgetown, other than to agree with the PP that if I were advising my child, Georgetown > Vandy.)[/quote]

So, why do I know plenty of successful lawyers from non T14.
Is this something new?[/quote]

Me too. I'm a partner at an AmLaw 100 firm with a successful practice and career. Did not go to T14. We hire MANY associates from non T14. Good grades and class ranking are more important.  [/quote]

I’m willing to be good money that someone graduating from Harvard can get hired from your firm with lower grades than someone from Georgetown. And someone from Georgetown can get hired with lower grades than someone from Widener.

Going to a lower ranked law school is riskier because you very much need to finish at the top of your class to get the same job opportunities as someone from a higher ranked school.[/quote]
