<p>I read posts like this and frankly smile in amusement.</p>
<p>Yes, if you don’t attend a top law school, your chances at working for a big law firm a slimmer. That is true. However, you still can get a job there if you do very well in school or have connections.</p>
<p>Secondly, there are many legal jobs besides that of working for a big law firm that have better work environments. You can work for a mid-sized firm, givernment, military etc. In addition, law school training can aid in many professions such as accounting, financial planning, etc. </p>
<p>Bottom line: To say Don’t go to a law school unless it is T14 is much too broad and frankly not good advice. I wouldn’t,however, go to a lower tier law school if you don’t have a solid plan of what you want to do with your legal training. Simply going to law school because you can’t get a job would be a very bad decision.</p>
