Do realize that every aspiring lawyer’s dream schools are in the top 10.
In this day and age, there is truly a large large excess of lawyers. I know of two friends who graduated from ok-ish law schools (top 20) that are now looking for jobs in fields outside of law because of how hard it is to get them.</p>
<p>The big law firms aren’t exactly opening up more and more spots for students every year and will probably at most select the handful of top students from harvard, yale, etc. and leave the rest of the student bodies, yes even those from harvard, yale, etc. to small firms that pay pretty little and/or to start-up their own firms, which usually takes a while to make little money.</p>
