[quote=Anonymous]I knew a partner who used to joke that the usefulness of a new associate was inversely related to the prestige of their law school. Obviously there is a point at which it’s not true but I totally agree that the least prepared new lawyers I’ve met came from Ivy League schools. I will also say that leaving after three years of biglaw isn’t a sign that I hadn’t “cracked the code” of success but a sign that I stayed long enough to pay off some debts/save some money and see if I wanted to do it long term. Believe it or not there are people who don’t think biglaw is the optimal life for lawyers. [/quote]
