Well, I do think it fair to say that Yale law school, though excellent, definitely has a reputation of being not practical compared to its peers. It’s a law school for people who don’t intend on practicing law more than any other of the elite law schools.
I also think people on here tend to over inflate the value of the T3 schools and usually it’s the people who didn’t attend one who buy most in the value of the degree. If you read through the Harvard red book, for example, you find many grads living quite ordinary professional lives. Op’s career trajectory unlikely to be much different based on which of these two schools they chose. And while the man on the street might not know what the Jefferson is, elite law schools and even Supreme Court Justices definitely do.
