Cardozo vs. Washington and Lee

Post by spenc6 » Sat Feb 04, 2012 1:22 am

Accepted at both schools, would like to work in New York after. Obviously W&L has the higher ranking but does it have better job prospects within NYC?

Okay, maybe you're not being serious, but that seems like a perfectly legitimate question to ask. So if you're just a troll or whatever, shame on me I guess. But in case you aren't and still haven't found an answer, I suggest reading this TLS article http://www.top-law-schools.com/choosing ... in-ny.html and read what they say about Cardozo. Basically, going there without any scholarship money = bad idea, but if you do have a good offer from there and are content with a mid-size firm, then it might be a better choice for getting into NY than W&L. At least that's what I'd gathered from reading that article however long ago.

But yeah, again, assuming you're legitimately interested in the answer to this question, read up on that TLS article. I believe it might be a little dated, but it makes some VERY well-reasoned points.

Lol true. I only refrained from saying so since I felt the article pretty much gave that sentiment and also I'm not sure that W&Ls prospects in NY are much better. Never looked into them as a school
