<p>OP, please listen to LazyKid - he is honestly not trying to trick you into making a bad decision. His information is all accurate and paints the true reality of the job market. Another interesting exercise that you might want to perform is to search the top 10 students at the law school you want to go to (law schools sometimes give out awards to these students ex. XYZ scholar and then look them up on linked in)</p>
<p>I did a quick search of my local state law school (close to NYC market) and found that of the top 10, only 1 had an offer from BigLaw (S&C). Not promising.</p>
