Default Re: How much is degree from a low level law school worth? (and more ?s

Joe is correct. If you go to a lower tier school, make sure it's in the metropolitan area that you want to live and settle in. The alumni networks for the local less-prestigious law firms will keep you in business. And even bigger firms are more willing to hire you because of their exposure to people from that school.

Also, in the end it doesn't matter where you went to law school. If you are quality, you'll make a good living. Alot of lawyers run their own small firms and make as much or more as partners in the big firms.
