[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Theory doesn’t hold up in law because of hiring practices. It’s nearly always better to be bottom of your class at Yale than #1 in your class at University of Arkansas. And it’s definitely to be bottom of the class at Yale than 75th percentile at any school outside of the T14.[/quote] except for confidence and how you ae willing to put yourself forward. that matters A LOT after the first rush out of the gate. My child switched for a high profile private where he was middle of the pack to a mid tier public where he stands out. Its night and day how he talks about himself and how confident and he is. He is finally the smart kid[/quote] It really doesn’t go far in legal hiring. Employers care about law school, class rank, law review, and clerkship. And it continues to matter into your career. Is it dumb? Absolutely. But it’s reality.[/quote]
