Snobs in law school Forum

[dwil770]

snob =/= family wealth in all cases. the two terms are not synonymous in our unique class culture.

Throw a rich kid paying sticker at Vanderbilt tho and I bet they're the worst.

Why?

If you don't like snobs, you will HATE practicing law / interacting with lawyers. It's easily the snobbiest major profession in the U.S.

I even know people at not-good schools who are snobby and/or rich (as Bagel pointed out, they're correlated but not the same thing).

For those who are attending t14 schools, how common is the snobby/elitist attitude among your fellow students? What about t25 schools? T50 schools?
Thanks!

It is like TLS in the wild

I speculate that the rank range with the most snobs in law school is 15 to 25. I bet there are way more snobs at a WUSTL/GW compared to CLS/NYU

Visiting Cornell vs. visiting Berkeley was a complete 180 for me.

I don't remember any conscious snobbery at my T6. There was plenty of unconscious snobbery in the sense that someone who grew up rich or upper middle class is going to approach the world differently than someone who was middle class (things like being surprised you've never been to Europe or Asia or assuming you went to prep school). People did have an unhealthy obsession with prestige, obviously, but that is endemic to the profession.
