[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to make you feel discouraged, but I am on the Legal Honors hiring committee for a federal agency (and not one of the popular ones like DOJ or State). It has been years since we hired anyone with below median grades. We get such a high quality applicant pool that we are able to hire new attorneys from top schools with top grades, law review/moot court and usually some kind of relevant work experience. I don't think you're going to have the luxury of being picky in this legal market.[/quote] I am on a similar committee, and we have a top 20 percent cutoff, no exceptions.[/quote] A lot of top schools don't rank, so your post is BS. Federal agencies are full of mediocre lawyers and affirmative action hires. [/quote]
