Good point. I don't have any desire to attend without any real prospect of a clerkship or Biglaw. However, and this might just be quibbling about what constitutes a real prospect, I think each of those schools gives me a shot at that goal. Thoughts?whereskyle wrote:I agree with this. OP mentioned that OP is willing to do any law, but is OP willing to go to LS solely for any law without any real prospect of Fed. Clerkship or biglaw?

All of them have "any real prospect" of getting a biglaw SA, but only 2, Northwestern and UVA, have a "decent" chance worth banking on.karateandfriendship wrote:Good point.

I know kalvano often talks about there being a fairly large number of mid-level paying jobs in Dallas. How true is that of the state as a whole? $125k debt on $40-50k/yr is scary. On $70-90k?

I really don't know. From my limited experience it seems like they do exist, but I don't know how attainable they are. If the fallback for people who miss the big law boat is something like an 80K job that would be pretty sweet.cotiger wrote:I know kalvano often talks about there being a fairly large number of mid-level paying jobs in Dallas.

The percentage of people at UT taking jobs in firms of 26-100 attorneys is tiny. Those firms may exist in larger numbers in Texas compared to elsewhere but we don't have much evidence that they hire a lot of people right out of law school.
