[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the top of the class at ND can land a biglaw job or a good clerkship, why take on the debt?[/quote]

[b]Bc you may wind up in their bottom or middle not the top.[/b]

Law school isn't like undergrad where if you work hard and spend a lot of time writing papers you can do well. There is one exam for each course, that's it, and the class is curved so only a certain small percentage can get a good grade.[/quote]

This could happen at Harvard too and is, in fact, more likely to happen there because of the stiffness of the competition.  Middle of the pack or bottom of the class at Harvard is having a very hard time landing big law nowadays.  At least if he was middle or bottom at Notre Dame, he would not have crushing debt to deal with.[/quote]

I have an extremely hard time believing that any Harvard grad is unable to find a firm law job if they want that. It may not be Cravath, but they will find something in a firm with a starting salary north of $125,000. [/quote]
