What are the most Prestigious law schools in the South in your opinion?

[KMart]

If North Carolina counts, then Duke.

[star fox]

UVA Duke Vanderbilt Texas.

[TFALAWL]

UVA and Duke are T-14's.

Notable Mentions: William and Mary, UNC, Emory

[TFALAWL]

Sorry I'm drunk. DEFINITELY Vandy + UT: ahead of my "notable mentions" but below UVA and Duke

[fats provolone]

Harvard

[ilikebaseball]

Duke, Texas, Vandy, UVA if it counts

[starry eyed]

uva, duke, vandy, ut, with emory bringing up the rear.

[KMart]

Harvard

Boston is the south?

[DoveBodyWash]

All four "Harvard's of the South"

Duke/UVA>>>Vandy>>>>>>Emory

[Ron Don Volante]

emory deserves an honorable mention

No. For non-law schools, sure. 60% employed only 25% BL/Art 3? Not in the same category as UT or Vandy.

Also the drunk dude said william and mary and UNC. Clearly, he did not need to say that he was drunk.

Ole Miss calls themselves the Harvard of the South for a reason.

[logdog]

If you call yourself the "Harvard of the South," then you are not. Lol

what about tulane and ole miss

[PropaneAccessories]

I'd say it also depends on the city you're targeting.

Example: If you're targeting Atlanta, you need to scratch Emory off of that list. While it has lay appeal, its reputation in Atlanta BigLaw is absolutely on par with UGA.

And before any of you come running in here and say "But waaaahhhhhh! Emory is private and OMG OF COURSE it is better than UGA!", know that I have seen the required cut-offs for BigLaw in Atlanta. I'm a Paralegal (in the process of applying to LS) and know the cutoffs for all the schools that traditionally have a number of students shooting for Atlanta.

Also, I suppose with that said, you are absolutely insane if you attend Emory at half or less over UGA (assuming you're an in-state student or someone who was accepted to both and received the in-state equalizer from UGA). Again, their cutoffs for Atlanta BigLaw are identical.

Ole Miss calls themselves the Harvard of the South for a reason.

Colors are Harvard red and Yale Blue, what more do you want?

[Mack.Hambleton]

just look at employment statistics this is dumb, no one gives a shit about your "prestigious" JD if you cant get a job or pay off your mountain of debt

[chuckbass]

Harvard

Boston is the south?

no but it's very prestigious in the south

Sometimes I really like you

[LSATneurotic]

Harvard

Boston is the south?

no but it's very prestigious in the south

Were you saying that because Boston is noted for it's racism ? Sorry I'm dumb.
