Can transfers to a top 14 still make big law
I am unfamiliar how the transfer process works regarding law schools. Can someone a top 20 school with excellent 1L credentials, transfer to not only a top 14, but still land big law upon graduation and excellent summer internships , etc. ?

Probably, but if you have excellent 1L credentials at a T20 you should be able to get those outcomes without transferring.

Former transfer here - landed big law relatively no trouble with median grades at the T-14 that I transferred to . I was from a Tier 3 schools with top 5-10% grades, so made sense for me, but if you have good grades from a T-20, I agree with the other poster that you probably are safe enough where you are and I wouldn't leave unless you have no scholarship.lawschoolsplit2023 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 2:44 pmI am unfamiliar how the transfer process works regarding law schools.

Re: Can transfers to a top 14 still make big law
I transferred from a top ~35 law school to a top 3 school, summered at a V20 in DC, clerked, and later practiced at a V10 in DC. Some transfers I knew had some difficulty in the OCI process, but in general transfers did quite well and got biglaw jobs if they wanted them.
