For Biglaw in general, Penn could be considered second to none. At the same time, keep in mind that there may be a factor of self selection for various schools, or that some schools are just more geared towards certain things. If you want a prestigious clerkship, Chicago places more into that than almost any other school. Georgetown may have a large amount of people opting to pursue a job on Capital Hill rather than BigLaw. Cornell does well in NYC but won't carry as well out west as Columbia. Northwestern places very well, but this may be due to the fact that non-trads fare better than KJDs in general, so a KJD at NU may in fact be no better off than a KJD at Georgetown. Some schools have a solid lock on a market, whereas some like D, V, and M might struggle to place grads because they aren't near a large market.
So no, ordering may not matter per se, but no two schools are interchangeable imho.

outside of the top3, the data support this. penn and columbia are roughly even, with everyone else trailing due to other factors that may or may not include self selection. what is there to debate?moonman157 wrote:lol wut

large firm + federal clerk
columbia 69%
penn 67%
NU 61%
nyu 54%

this implies that c and p are roughly equivalent on that front.

Re: Outside HYS, Does T14 School Ordering Matter?
Penn killed it in the NLJ 250 in 2011 making them look slightly inflated. I think over the last 5 years 6th or 7th is where they belong taking into account some potential self selection at schools that should clearly be ahead (Yale). I could be wrong though but I think those are the stats I've seen pop up. Not going to dig for them from my phone though

not sure what else you want bro. there may be other schools I would consider roughly equivalent trending back however many years you want to. Maybe NU, chicago, cornell could be included in there. I don't care enough to spend my night digging up older data, but if I still had to decide on my law school I probably would. I made my decision and EDed there because of it

Re: Outside HYS, Does T14 School Ordering Matter?
Fair enough. For one year, Penn placed the best in Biglaw. That's certainly true. But enough to extrapolate from that one piece of data from one year that Penn is best in this metric? Cornell sent more people into Biglaw firms than Columbia two years back. But hey, enjoy your nightSaintsTheMetal wrote:second source http://www.law.com/jsp/nlj/PubArticleNL ... 1121004218moonman157 wrote:Oh I'm well aware of LST.

Re: Outside HYS, Does T14 School Ordering Matter?
If you look at the last 5-6 years of NLJ 250 data instead of just the last 2-3, the whole NMVBDNC tier tends to converge. Columbia, Penn, and Chicago stand out as a cut above.
Re: NU and K-JD's, I think WE explains part of NU's placement, but by far the biggest factor is dominating Chicago. Chicago is a big legal market (third largest after NYC/DC) and UC/NU aren't huge schools. Every LR kid in the county is clamoring to be in DC, and taking jobs from GULC kids. Not so for Chicago.

This. If someone wants an NLJ firm/fed clerk, it would be a poor decision to turn down Penn for any non-hyscc t14 at the same price. Even at the cc level, one could still turn them down for Penn and not be shooting themselves in the foot.

That is sily.

The second link is the Biglaw (100+ firm size) and Federal Clerkship employment data equalized based on % class in said fields. Seems to be a 1 year analysis.
Damn Cornell, you're killin it.
I think it's a great place to start but at the same time it makes you realize how fickle a 1 year report can be.
