<p>While that is certainly true, the odds of getting any federal clerkship are certainly much higher at HYS+Chicago, and the rest of the T14.</p>
<p>Moreover, the odds of getting a BL job are also much better than from W&L, which had less grads go into Big Law than into clerkships. And since it takes Big Law to pay off massive debt, with out LRAP going to a lower ranked school only makes sense if it is close to free, IMO.</p>
<p>Mean salary of a W&L grad = $75k. ($91k in the private sector.)</p>
