UChicago vs. Berkeley vs. Cornell Forum

But this isn't a relevant inquiry anyway. It doesn't matter what street meat vendors on Wang Fu Jing or tour guides at Shou Xi Hu think. People within the legal profession are going to know what the best law schools are.

You're right I don't care what street vendors think.

But I bring up lay prestige only to the extent that I care what my potential clients would think, aka people outside of legal profession. Of course, this is assuming once I do find employment.

Your clients won't care.

I haven't read any of this thread so I'm going to recommend Chicago.

except they will in Asia.





Thank you, those who were kind enough to vote and comment - so much is appreciated.
I will make my decision between Berkeley and Cornell.

If this is your choice, definitely Berkeley.

Genuinely curious. What makes you think this. You won't really have clients in biglaw for years...
