How important is the location of school when starting solo practice?

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Aug 07, 2016 3:02 pm

I am already thinking about starting solo practice after working at a law firm for 2-3 years. I had work experience prior to law school and I am solo practice type, rather than big organization type.

The thing is that I go to school in Midwest (regional school like Indiana/St. Louis, Notre dam, etc)but I want to practice in LA where my language skill would be best utilized, including other factors. I do not have family ties to CA.

My question is how important the location of law school would be to solo practice, assuming that I will have worked at a CA law firm by the time I start my solo practice?
