Would biglaw view negatively someone who transferred to T14 after completing 2L at another law school (T50)? So would be attending law school for 4 years. Money is not a concern. What if the 1L's GPA is like a shit but 2L's GPA is top 20%?

Yes, some T14 allow it.

Wouldn't that require giving up a year of credits from your original school?

You were a bad student at a mediocre school during 1L? Why would a large firm take you seriously? Because you got better grades during 2L, which a lot of people do?

Why would a T14 even accept you in the first place?

Georgetown has 100 transfer seats to fill. They can't be that picky.
