Re: Which law school should I attend?
jeff,
Harvard will also make it easier to get an in-house GC position at certain firms, bus dev/corp dev/M&A, venture capital, and a variety of other business roles that people w/ law backgrounds end up doing.
I agree that going to any top-tier school is probably fine for most things, but there's no question that the Harvard name provides a number of advantages over the other schools mentioned, including Columbia.
Most of the attorneys I've known didn't end up practicing law for all that long, so these considerations are worth taking into account.
