Ok, let's be realistic...which law schools are elite?
Beyond lay prestige and USNWR rankings, which law schools can realistically be considered elite? t14 + Texas, UCLA, Vanderbilt, USC, WUSTL, GWU, Emory? Who am I missing...or am I being too liberal?

What is the point of this thread? Making a thread like this really brings out the worst in TLSers, especially 0Ls. Is this because you want to tell people you went to an elite law school when you're having snooty conversations over cocktails? Sorry for the bitchiness, but this is silly.

Just Yale. Are you sad that you won't be going to an elite law school now?

That might help....but only a little. I have always wondered how many people think that's my real name because they don't know who she is.Anacreon wrote:Sorry.

HYSCCN are the only truly elite schools, and that's being EXTREMELY generous to N.

"Princeton University does award honorary degrees of law.

They've given out less than 200 law degrees. Bill Clinton has one. So do Lawrence Summers and Paul Volker. Kofi Annan got one too, but he was URM.

this thread is way too fuqen pointless. We are indeed, realistic anyway and that's why we ended up in TLS talking about Top lolschools. Such pointless threads have been covered more than 103948109384130984 times. Jesus.. for the love of God, please move your dumb fat fingers and do forum search.
