Law School Admissions + Rankings

From a US News article on law school rankings: "For a student looking to go to a corporate law firm, [rankings are] very important. Many firms disproportionately recruit from certain law schools and are significantly more likely to consider a résumé from a [top-14] school than others," says Steve Schwartz, an LSAT tutor and author of the LSAT Blog.

"However, for applicants looking to practice in other areas such as human rights law, become sole practitioners, or use their law degree simply to augment their already-existing business or in conjunction with another graduate degree, the law schools ranking and national reputation may not mean as much."
