<p>My impression is that its reputation is well below Columbia and NYU, and somewhat above Brooklyn and Cardozo. The salaries and percentage of grads employed also looks somewhat in between, from the link you posted.</p>
<p>You would likely have to have a higher class rank at Fordham than at T14 schools to be considered for some jobs. A lot of people assume that they will get better grades at lower-ranked law schools but this is not always the case–the courses are often quite different at the two types of schools (T14s are more academic…it’s like teaching you how to be a professor, or a judge; lower-ranked schools teach more of “this is the law. this is how to do [X legal task].”)</p>
<p>Also if you are interested in public interest, higher-ranked schools often have better loan repayment programs. On the other hand, you might have fewer loans if you went to a place which gave you a merit scholarship…</p>
<p>Finally, it looks like most Fordham alums are in the NY area. This is good in the sense that there will be lots of alumni connections there, but bad in the sense that the reputation might be worse outside of NY, and there will be lots of competition for NY jobs.</p>
