Top Law Schools

Whenever something TLS finds prestigious, for example, clerking, law review, going to HYS, it always overhypes the benefits. Then when people start speaking out against their assumptions, they retreat, but only the extent they are proven wrong. HYS? Only places slightly more into big law? WELL it's HUGE for government! Most clerks go back to their their 2L firm? WELL, it's HUGE for DC!? Oh, nobody in DC cares, well it's HUGE for government.

Basically, TLS common wisdom is that prestigious things are hugely beneficial in the gaps of where it's been proven not extremely beneficial.

This has got to stop.

I thought the benefit of HYS for biglaw isn't that their placement numbers are ridiculously higher than the rest of the T14, but that nearly anyone who wants biglaw there can get it.

But that means almost anyone from the t14 does too. Which is my view of it.

Dude TOP law schools punto com is always gonna hype dat prestige. It's not a problem, it's just how it is.

The LSAT prep, DOING WELL in school prep, BAR prep, and JOB search resources on this site are second to none though. Gotta enjoy it for what it is, and love the one your with.

this one beat me to it.

you are forgetting about bottles and models, DF. The latter (models) are just lining up in droves for HLS grads, but much less so than say, WashU.
