Egregious pro-Harvard trolling.

[KidStuddi]

I'd be curious to know what tier 2 school dominates in its market. Thinking like somewhere in the Dakotas or Alaska? Just curious.

UPitt pretty much owns Pittsburgh.

Not with Duquesne in the mix.

Statements like this are so misleading. The city is undoubtably full of Pitt law grads, but going to Pitt and getting a decent job in Pittsburgh is very difficult. In this environment, no school owns anything, especially outside the top handful of schools.

The statement isn't misleading; you apparently just assume people don't appreciate that it's always hard to get an extremely high paying and coveted job.
I can make the statement "the ACC dominates the NBA feeding market" (or whatever conference you want, I don't follow closely enough to know) and the reality would still be that the vast majority of people who play in that conference, or any other, will never make it to the big show. That doesn't make it any less true for me to state that a disproportionate number of players in the NBA came from that conference. Likewise I'm stating that if you look at firms in Pittsburgh, you'll see that the largest portion of the attorneys are UPitt alumni. Nothing about that statement implies that the 12th (or even 4th or 5th ITE) man on the proverbial bench is going to make it big.

What if employers are going there IN DROVES?

Pitt certainly places better than Duquesne, but not by a big-enough margin to stay it really dominates. Both schools are performing rather shitty ITE. Pitt's performance is just somewhat less so.

[togepi]

Maybe talking about LSU?

Can we sticky this thread to the top of the forum for future generations to read?

Agreed. Always consider the DROVES, which correlate almost perfectly to USNWR.

How is there not a definitive "what to do after you strike out" article yet?

Drop out/network w govt. and smaller firms/apply for clerkships so you can get ANY legal job doesn't make for a good article.

wisconsin dominates its market (wisconsin)

I feel like Iowa and WI are pretty similar because in both states there's the decently ranked state school and then one private law school (drake, marquette).

[reasonable_man]

Wait... Seriously though... The title of this thread was supposed to be a fucking joke right???

A start, at least.

That's not really for true "strike outs" or people that don't have the numbers to get BigLaw. It's really for people at T14's or those with awesome grades at lower-ranked schools. I don't know how much that advice is going to help a T2, top 20% person.

Ole Miss and South Carolina are also in the group.

[dreakol]

he is obviously talking about the stranglehold wayne state has on the phoenix market

NYLS (Tier 2 for law schools south of Houston) dominates TriBeCa mid sized med mal (a legit market). I would bet that OP might be referring to this.

Well, if Yale can dominate the law professor and supreme court markets, NYLS can dominate the uber-shitlaw and funemployment markets

[Aberzombie1892]

Cooley is the undisputed President and CEO of un/underemployment. It's board of directors include all of the state approved (non-aba approved) law schools, and advisers to the board include a bunch of low ranked CA schools and all law schools ranked outside the top 18ish with a class size of 300 or more.
