it was even better before he edited his post. originally he said he was a hiring partner so we should all listen to him. he edited it out once someone pointed out he was a 1L.dood wrote:hahahahaha i just read through that whole thread.fatduck wrote:Why did you make another thread for this?

Except for the most part it is, particularly if we're talking about # of attorney (vice # of firms).MrAnon wrote:NLJ250 =/= biglaw
So what are you Informative? A 1L? Or BigLaw associate? Or hiring director? Only one explanation--Informative is...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_HumeFiveSermon wrote:We all know the only reason Informative posted this was to point out that BC had a 3% higher placement than BU.

Yes. If it's going to suggest that Yale gives you the 15th-best shot at BigLaw, and that Cornell gives you a better shot than 12 of the other T14, then it is completely and utterly useless without proper context. The rankings just don't have practical value if you don't know about the self-selection biases of each school.FiveSermon wrote:Utterly useless? Right...
People know the context. Everyone knows students from schools like Yale and Stanford can do whatever they want. Who the hell even looks at NLJ250 if they get admitted to Yale? If you can't get biglaw from Yale you were probably bottom 1% with bad interview skills.ImpatientlyWaiting wrote:Yes.

Even factoring in such biases Cornell absolutely crushed like a mother F... I wouldn't say that its better than 12 of the T14 but we can probably say (given historical clerkship, gov't, PI placement) that 2/3rds of that graduating class walked away with the kind of jobs available to only the very top students at schools outside the T30 or so...FiveSermon wrote:People know the context.
