If someone has strong ties to Dallas or Houston (born and raised in city and attended SMU/UH/Rice), would it be a hard sell to get an offer from a firm in the other city?

As in you go to UT Law and then get a job in Dallas or Houston? I'm an 0L well but I think UT commands a good portion of the legal market in Dallas and Houston.

Yeah, get a job in Dallas with only ties to Houston or vice versa.nonprofit-prophet wrote:As a 1L, maybe. As a 2L, probably not.
Thanks! I imagine getting a summer job as a 1L is hard regardless lol.

i am from NYC though would be open to working in texas after school, however, i am worried about my complete and utter lack of ties prohibiting this from being possible. where would a yanke with no ties whatsoever need to land in his or her class in order to overcome a complete lack of ties and land a biglaw job in texas.
Your grades would have to be better than a comparable TX native in getting a Texas gig. If you for sure want TX biglaw, one way to overcome ties is to work in-state over your 1L year and join some organization with a decidedly Texas flavor (e.g., Oil & Gas society).
PM if you have any questions. FYI, I'm out of state, not LR, landed TX biglaw, and was sort of in your shoes 2 years ago.

Sorry to jump on this old post, but I am UT Student. I am out of state, no ties to TX, was wondering if you could impart some wisdom.

Is it viewed as a respectable academic publication or the Fox News of UT journals? How would it be viewed by a prospective employer?
