Also don't forget about Notre Dame, we have a SCOTUS from ND.

Fordham grads probably do a lot of contract review at the big law.  Not the same as Columbia grads.  Completely different tracks.[/quote]

Depends on the practice. I know a lot of IP lawyers from Fordham in biglaw. [/quote]

I know several Fordham grads who are partners at top firms, including Skadden, doing M &A and securities law among other things. [/quote]

For every "several Fordham" there are hundreds of Columbia.  Statistically.

Law is a business that rely on connection a lot.  These Fordham grads may have family connections so they are rain makers.[/quote]

You are showing your lack of Biglaw knowledge.  Almost none have these types of contacts at the start and the one that do go to Columbia not Fordham.  No one starts as a rainmaker.  Indeed if a first year started brining in clients, most partners would be highly suspicious and probably want the person out.[/quote]
