[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in for a major DC firm in San Francisco. The T14 was well represented, but so were other in-state schools like Hastings (now UCSF?), UC Davis, UCLA, and USC. Once you were hired, no cared where you went to law school. They only cared about the quality of your work and, of course, whether you billed 2000+ hours annually. I can't speak for NYC firms though. But I recall that Munger Tolles in LA was known for focusing on the tippy top T14 schools and/or people who had prestigious circuit clerkships. (I would not have wanted to work there.)[/quote]

Munger Tolles, Susman Godfrey, Cravath, and Wachtell are at a different level altogether.  I graduated in the top half of my class at HLS and had no chance at any of these firms.[/quote]

Is that for real?  I knew firms of that ilk were selective, but that's nuts.[/quote]

This is stupid and those firms are not at the top.  [/quote]

Not 100% accurate but it is close. You don't think Wachtell is at the top?[/quote]
