[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC just started 2nd year as a NYC big law associate.  Graduated from a top 5 Law School.  Got a huge merit scholarship for law school coming from a state university.  Debt free thanks to great grades and LSAT scores.  Works in Corporate Finance.  Works hard but deal closings have up and down times and better quality of life generally than litigation.  Enjoys practice group and salary exceeding $250 K.   Worked minimally Thanksgiving weekend.

Top 5 law schools don’t hand out huge merit scholarships.  Name the school. [/quote]

People always say this but they’re wrong. My kid got a Rubenstein Scholarship to UChicago Law, as did at least 10% of his class. Full ride plus $20k annual stipend [/quote]

Yea, and 90 percent of the UChicago class didn’t get the award.  So they’re not just “handing them out”, just as I said.

I never said it wasn’t happening at all. And, as others have noted, it’s certainly not happening at the very top schools.[/quote]
