[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To my knowledge Law is the only profession where even 20 years out, one lawyer will ask another - where did you go to school? And they mean both undergrad and law. And I guess, hearing from legal friends, being able to say Cornell Yale is more prestigious than saying Wooster Yale. [/quote]

I'm a lawyer of this vintage and this is just not true. No one asks!

Funny. People always check lawyers (and doctor's) before they are hired. They always show up on Google search. Only a no-named school grad insists they don't matter. [/quote]

PP here and yes, I did go to name schools for both college and law school. My comment was in response to the claim that lawyers ask each other where they went to undergrad. No one asks. I've never been asked by another lawyer where I went to undergrad and I've never asked anyone else either.

Of course I look up bio's of opposing counsel and the schools are listed so I see them but I am looking at their experience and maybe their law school. [/quote]
