Berkeley vs NYU vs Northwestern vs Penn Forum

[Dignan]

Thanks for you posts, digman. They're truly invaluable.

What about if I'll decide to work in LV? Would a Berkeley Law degree be held in high regard there too?

If by "LV" you mean Las Vegas, I don't know anything about the legal market there. I would think that Berkeley's proximity to LV would give Berkeley at least a slight advantage over NYU/NW/Penn, but I honestly don't know.

NYU sends plenty of people to California. If you look at the placement numbers it's been at least equivalent to Chicago and Columbia in West Coast placement for many years. The notion that it doesn't seems to be some weird TLS echo-chamber effect. Don't sweat it, poe.

I would imagine this to be true, given that Californians are heavily represented at NYU, Columbia and Chicago.

You know, TLS has a poll feature...
