[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  For example, I just looked at Cravath's website.  At least 32 current associates are from "below" Georgtown.  BYU, Ohio State, Syracuse, Buffalo, etc.  And there aren't a lot of Biglaw firms more prestigious and selective than Cravath.[/quote]

Maybe you heard of connections and social credits. [/quote]

Honestly you people are just relentless, ridiculous and clueless.  There’s no way you work in Biglaw.

Cravath did not hire 32 graduates of second tier law schools with subpar credentials because of “connections and social credits.”   They hired them because they excelled in their law schools and Cravath needs the bodies.

Maybe cravath hired them as laterals.  Easier to be hired from non top 14 school after a few years then straight out of law school.  When I was in law school. cravath didn’t even hire people not high enough in class from top 14. [/quote]

We've been through this already.  Cravath doesn't do a lot of lateral hiring.  It's inconsistent with their model.

And yes, in decades past Cravath and other elite law firms hired a lot fewer grads from the non T14.  That's changed for the simple reason that law firms are much bigger now than when you were in law school--but law school classes are not.[/quote]
