<p>Law firms will only care about where your J.D. comes from.</p>
<p>Also the list of schools you’re considering is all over the place. Typically, unless you’re practically getting a full-ride to law school, it’s really financially irresponsible right now to go to any school outside of the T14 (some would argue top 20/25ish, though this is a point of strong contesting). In California, the only ones being considered should be Stanford, Berkeley, and arguably UCLA and USC. Pepperdine is a Tier 2 program and the amount of debt accrued to the average actual salary being made post-grad is not worth it. Take statistics touted by the schools themselves with a grain of salt as most numbers are just well-manipulated statistics (incomplete reporting, median vs. mean, reporting 75%ile, etc.).</p>
<p>Anyway, back to the original question, it doesn’t matter where you go for undergrad. Pepperdine -> Pepperdine or Yale -> Yale, it’s all the same.</p>
