<p>Thanks for your support. I have a bunch of friends from my high school who are attending, or are planning on attending low-ranked law schools after taking out big loans. They all believe in those employment stats thrown away by these law schools and think they will be fine. It really is a shame, and I feel bad. Although I warned my friends away from making such disastrous decisions, I will say that people are very resistant to hearing anything that they don’t want to hear.</p>
<p>Yeah, the job market in law is absolutely terrible now. However, most BigLaw firms still hire heavily from top 10 law schools. Many BigLaw firms used to hire small portion of their class from top students at lower ranked law schools, but now, many of these BigLaw employers aren’t willing to look at those top kids from low ranked law schools and they aren’t willing to take risk.</p>
<p>In this economy, I would venture to guess that it is almost near impossible to break into BigLaw from non-T30 law school, unless you have engineering / IP-lawyer background.</p>
