<p>I agree with this and I would add that in many cases, a lower-ranked law school may actually be HARDER than a higher-ranked one. That’s because the lower-ranked law schools tend to grade extremely hard and have very high expulsion/attrition rates. Their attitude is that only a fraction of the people that matriculate there will actually be good enough to earn law degrees. Contrast that at the top schools like Harvard where although the workload is brutal, you have the assurance that everybody is going to graduate. You might graduate last in your class, but you’re still going to graduate. At the low ranked law schools, there is a strong chance that you may not even graduate at all. </p>
<p>And then of course there are schools like Yale Law where class rankings are not computed and it is made intentionally difficult to distinguish between different students in any grading sense. Hence, I would surmise that it’s significantly easier to be a student at Yale Law than to be a student at one of those low-ranked law schools that flunk out a lot of their students.</p>
