[quote=Anonymous]Early Retired Biglaw partner here. I attended a no-name college and graduated from a law school ranked at the bottom of the top 25 and was hired way back when by a firm that at the time had virtually no associates and zero partners without top tier pedigrees. I was the first associate my firm ever hired from my law school. Nowadays things are a little different but not all that much. The degree still matters enormously. It’s just that with so much competition even the top firms now have to dig a little deeper, so they will take in graduates of lower ranked schools if they rank at the very top of their class. I’m also a white guy. I do think that there’s no chance I would’ve been hired when I was with my no-name degrees had I not been. I absolutely recognize my privilege. [/quote]
