While these two work very well for comparison (both send a plurality of their students to NYC, both are outside of major markets, both are ranked similarly, etc.), you can do this across the top schools and get roughly the same picture. I'd make the case that V10 NYC placement is a good all-purpose metric for judging one school to the next unless you have a very specialized interest. Article III Clerkships follow the same basic trend:

YHS...Duke/Chicago/Penn...UVA/Columbia...Northwestern/Michigan/NYU/Cornell
What an idiot 1L/0L.

V10 placement is not an accurate all-purpose metric for judging NYC placement.

Also, no, you are not getting v10.

I don't know where you got the idea that Duke historically places better in Article III clerkships.

I'm sure the folks at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz will be impressed with your creativity and the depth of your literary knowledge when you address them as "Wachtell Lipton RosenCrantz!"

Normally you're spot on with these, but I don't think they're whining about "who is" daddy can beat up "who is."

Aren't you a 0L?

This isn't accurate at all.

I go to Mich and we had the plurality of our firms at OCI from NYC. Accessibility to firms during OCI is a huge deal because mass mailing doesn't work for most.

I'd say it's HYSCN....C...Penn...Mich/UVA...Cornell/Duke...Northwestern/GULC....Berkeley. (Not sure about Chicago actually, seems like they did a lot worse this year in NY.)
Michigan sends a lot of students to NYC; it just doesn't do it very well. Michigan is a really good example of how far off the mark USNWR can be. Take the following data points:

Last year's OCI: Michigan's shocking under performance relative to Duke/Penn/etc.
AIII Clerkships
NYC Vault 10 placement
D.C. placement: Michigan's at the bottom of the T14 here

I can't think of many reasons to choose Michigan over any other T14 (perhaps a strong desire to practice in Detriot). Michigan's been on its way out for 30 years. It just has a lot of historical prestige that's keeping it afloat, but that won't last forever.

The initial typo was a minor embarrassment but the fact that you were dense enough to miss it the second time (and arrogant enough to chastise someone who pointed it out) is... well, see the graphics above.

We've got the better everything. But, if you were going to try and troll NYU kids, their collective inferiority complex re. CLS is the best shot.

Naw... it was a successful strategy on Kurama's part. Forcing NYU to defend itself against the "clearly inferior" schools is much more demeaning than pulling out the CLS v. NYU card.

It's okay. They can comfort themselves in placing 10-15% more of their class in biglaw than T7-14.

It's okay. They can comfort themselves in placing 10-15% more of their class into NYC than T7-14, the same or less into clerkships, the same or less into prestigious government, the same or less into Cali biglaw, and the same or less into DC biglaw.
