[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone list the top schools. The T14 or 30 or whatever it is ….[/quote]

Anytime you want rankings just google USNWR...https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/law-rankings

And to answer OP's question..." It depends". If the city is desirable...law competition is brutal. So yes, your law school will pretty much always matter. Fancy firms like for their firm's bios to look elite and the same goes for their Martindale Hubble ( legal directory) entries.

But, I went to law school in Cleveland where some top firms such as Jones Day, and Squire, etc. Are HQ'd. I went to a lower tiered law school, was Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review, + had previously worked on the Hill for the US Senate Judiciary Committee ( no one else in Cleveland had that experience; whereas, it is common in DC). I had a great career and am retired now. I have a young friend in Pittsburgh who has a similar story. Moral of the story...go to a crappy city to land a job in Big Law if you graduated from anything below T14.[/quote]
