[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you also need to consider what path your DC wants to take post law school. If it’s big law then undergrad may matter. Big law is heavily reliant on academic credentials. Every lawyer bio lists their undergrad school in addition to law school.

That said, I don’t think Bates v Wooster is very different in that regard. Many will have only a glancing knowledge of both. [/quote]
As those of us who have worked in BigLaw repeatedly point out in this thread, undergrad does not matter in BigLaw. Law school matters. (I ran a summer associate program, hiring almost exclusively from T14. We had people who attended undergrad everywhere from Berkeley to Iowa to DePaul.)

Zero difference between Bates and Wooster.[/quote]

100 percent agree.  This really isn't even up to legitimate debate.  Whoever these people are who are piping up and saying that law firms -- and the legal profession in general -- care about undergraduate schools are just flat out wrong.  They can't be lawyers, and they definitely cannot be Biglaw lawyers.

Lawyers are obsessed with law school attended.  Not undergrad.  Full stop.  [/quote]
