[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WashU is not a very good law school...[/quote]

It's #16.  It's extremely well respected.  [/quote]

no it's 44[/quote]

Could you link to your source for that? Could you be mixing it up with another school?[/quote]

My two friends are incredibly successful and went to Wash U.  One certainly can do well there.  Both partners in top 20 big law firms.

My concern is with the markets the school feeds.   Chicago and St Louis are really bleak in terms of their future.  Than again, cities like Dallas do take students from Wash U. Markets like Kansas Cit do too.  The law firm I have ever engaged is from Kansas City.  There is some excellent work in mid size cities.   After your first few years, you experience and skill take over.  I went to one of the best firms in New York after Georgetown - my adviser said don't pass it up.  I am glad my first job was at this firm.And Georgetown barely got me in there - you really had to do well,  Wash U - good school but must be thoughtful in obtaining outcomes.

I know these things are anecdotal, but a 44 floor modern skyscraper in St Louis just sold for 2.6 million - just concerned about St Louis as an economic hub going forward.  I like St Louis if you can live in the nicer parts and it is a good living.  [/quote]

Chicago biglaw partner here.

No one attending WashU law school stays in STL to practice….and Chicago certainly has a thriving legal market.

3 years in STL is not the doomsday scenario you’ve made it out to be.

You can be successful from any law school frankly, if you have hustle. I have two friends who went to Northern Illinois University School of Law. One of them is a partner at a biglaw firm in Chicago. The other one is teaching law.
