[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked in DC big law for 20 years.  Never met a Richmond grad.  Occasional see it on a resume.  Usually a hard pass. [/quote]

What ignorance. Ever been on Richmond’s campus? The law school? Know anything about it? No, of course not. You’re as snobby and elitist and as ignorant as OP… and I have nothing to do with Richmond but at least have been there and know of its offering..

And if you really have worked in BigLaw, as I have, you would know that no one looks at undergrad when hiring lawyers … it’s all about the T14 and Law Review.[/quote]

I've never met a Richmond Law grad in Biglaw. [/quote]

No dog in this fight but this criticism is just dumb. I’m guessing that at the very least, if you look at some of the Richmond offices of big law firms, you’ll encounter some UR Law grads.[/quote]

Yes probably in Richmond. If you want to stay in Richmond, it's probably a good choice. But if you want to work anywhere else, it's just not. There are many other better known and just better law schools in the region - UVA, W&M, Georgetown, GW....even W&L....

[/quote] LOL. My DH is an attorney at DOJ. He went to SMU for his JD. He works with attorneys from LSU, Ga Tech, UMassAmherst, etc. Your JD's provenance doesnt mean sh*t IRL.[/quote]

Where you go to law school is extremely important.   Especially for your first job.  SMU is an okay school.  You can get a good job out of SMU but you had better be at top of class and in law review and looking in Dallas or Texas.  [/quote]
