Regional v. Top Schools Forum

[IAFG]

I'm getting the picture that law school is not at all a way to relocate across the country. Firms like kids who grew up near their city.

Some markets care more than others. IME, Seattle was brutal, other markets were more open-minded.

so what you're saying is...the less competition there is in a local market, the less likely firm recruiters are to give out of staters the evil eye?

I mean... I guess, but I don't think there's a Shangri-La of legal recruiting anywhere right now. I f I had to guess, I would say it probably has more to do with how accustomed they were to taking non-locals in boom times. Seattle was always pretty insular.

Oh yes there is ... Texas.
