[quote=Anonymous]You cannot go directly into Biglaw at this point. However, my DH's firm (a very big international firm) has plenty of associates and partners who didn't go to top tier law schools or who had unusual career trajectories. Those people usually took a job in government and developed a very specialized skill set (think SEC, FEC, etc.) and made themselves valuable to a firm as someone coming out of government already trained in a small bar. If you are serious about a legal career (and it doesn't really sound like you are) you might think about taking a slightly more family-friendly government legal job as a way to springboard into big law later. This route will still take time, effort, and commitment, but plenty of people pull it off. [/quote]
