[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ill be sure to tell the managing partner of our DC office that as a Mason graduate I shouldn't be here.  LOL.

The law and economics class aside which was a waste of time the education was first rate.  Oh, I also had my loans paid off in two years while I had fellow associates trying to pay off their loans 6 and 7 years in.  Damned tuition at GW is 3x more than Mason.  I dont think they got a 3x better education for that cost.[/quote]

Never said you can't get a job with Biglaw out of GMU.  Just that Biglaw doesn't hold the law school in as high regard as its current ranking.

GMU, GWU and William & Mary are all tied at 31st in the latest rankings, for example.  But 34 percent of the GWU Class of 2024 secured either a job with Biglaw or a federal clerkship at graduation, compared to 24 percent of William & Mary grads and only 18 percent at GMU grads.

I would agree with this. It takes reputations time to catch up. Older lawyers remember law schools from their own time. Also the alums need time to fan out into biglaw as they fuel hiring. Everyone is going to favor their own law school in hiring[/quote]
