Nothing you learn in law school matters that much. Law is about learning through practice. The best way to learn about securities law is to work in the SEC. How do you get to the SEC? The same way you get any other law job...

TCR is the best school you can get into. Honestly.
Most good schools have some sort of "law & business program" and you can intern at the SEC with good grades ... the B school is irrelevant.

There was a poster a few years back who had the same moniker as you. My mistake.

You know all those biglaw lawyers from fancy schools? A huge number of them are either issuing securities or litigating over them. And only a fraction of all those securities lawyers have ever even taken more than a single class on securities.

Franklin stove?
OP I, with my limited amount of knowledge on the matter, would agree with an earlier poster that it's the same as getting any other law job.
