Going to a lower tier school and then transferring?

OK, I’ll say it again.

People seeking advice on this board should know the posters who give advice, so that the advice can be considered in light of its source.

Many of the posters here have given information about their legal education and backgrounds. For example, Spayurpets went to Duke Law School and has worked in high-profile firms and in other contexts, so I can consider advice from Spayurpets to be from someone who is pretty knowledgeable about how to succeed in the law school admissions and law school employment fields. Spayurpets is clearly very smart and very successful.

Not all posters have given information about their backgrounds, however. So if you ask questions, consider the source of the advice, particularly since posters giving advice are not pre-screened (i.e., there is nothing stopping a non-lawyer from giving advice even on a law school board).
