Firms prefer private law schools? Forum

Encountered an idea on TLS and wanted to see if it was isolated or wide spread. Do you think firms prefer private law schools to public ones? I'm interested in why or why not, and if you yourself go to a private or public school.

Look at the T14 it's indicative of the recruiting power of those schools and they are certainly not all private.

It depends on where you go. UVA, for example, places very well for a public school.

For the top 50 or so Private > Public

Once you dip below that Public > Private

I would think if you are serious about being a lawyer, you would pay the money for a good school and not go to some community law school or state school.

Community law school?

For undergrad? No. The top state undergrads (Virginia, Berkeley, Michigan) are as good or better than anything outside the Ivy/near-Ivy level. For law school? Definitely not.

Law firms are part of the private sector. They will always prefer people who appreciate and support the private sector over people who just mooch off the public.

I think you will find that there are more lawyers practicing in Michigan from Cooley than from UMichigan.

This all has to be a joke right? I mean you go down the list of top public schools and they do just as well as their private peers

Well, they do have decent employment numbers, but that's because most of them take jobs in PI and government.

Look up firms, you will see them well represented with public school kids

a) because the Michigan grads are in DC, NY, SF and Chi and Cooley is a degree mill
b) because Cooley is private and therefore better

Whatever. Bottom line is your average Cooley student has a better chance of ending up practicing in Michigan than a UMich student. So it follows that if you want to practice in Michigan, you should go to Cooley.

Hey! Behave yourself. This is not trolling.
If I had started this thread I would be a troll. All I'm doing is playing off someone else absurd posts.
You will find that all my "trolls" are that.
