[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would choose Berkeley. [b]There is a growing stigma against ivy law schools, especially Yale and Harvard - these days, they are viewed as elitist and out of touch with day-to-day practice.[/b] I have worked with a couple of Yale attorneys and understand why - super smart and super cerebral and academic, but not “street smart” or creative/saavy or willing to hustle. One in particular was kind of a laughing stock at the firm bc he was pretentious as hell. If you’re interested in being a law professor or going into politics or want that sort of ivory tower association, then go for it. But I think law schools like Berkeley, Georgetown, Columbia, Stanford produce better practicing attorneys. Some of the best attorneys I’ve worked with - the creative scrappy hustlers- went to second tier law schools. [/quote] OMG Berkeley is *not* exempt from those critiques. Berkeley is pretty synonymous with out of touch liberal nonsense.[/quote]
