<p>I'm curious to know what the job prospects are for URMs at top law schools hoping to get hired for biglaw associate positions.</p>
<p>Would a Harvard URM have better job prospects than a Columbia URM in New York provided they both graduate with the same rank in their respective graduating classes? Would the J.D. prestige matter more when he's trying to make partner?</p>

<p>Well, yes, but it’s not a huge difference.</p>
<p>“Would the J.D. prestige matter more when he’s trying to make partner?”</p>
<p>Other factors are a million times more important when it comes to making partner.</p>
