No school was ever better than low-to-mid 70s in this ranking, IIRC. But when you add in non-NLJ250 firms of 100+, and fed clerkships, HYSCC are probably all in the 70s.

Small class size, and urban location help. By far the best school in a decent-sized market, plus very close to NYC and DC. Urban schools tend to outperform their peers at every level (GW/BC/BU/Fordham do best of the 20-40 ranked schools, SMU/UH of the 40-60 ranked schools, even schools like Temple and Cardozo do better than their TTT peers)

shame on the ABA.

(the follow-on stat: less than 20% of the "lucky few" that break into the nlj 250 are still there after 5 years of practice)

afrqwesd...which TTT did you graduate below median from?

This is flame language from TTT law grads.

Everyone I know who was in BigLaw (granted I knew mostly V20, a few v50, and another few V 100) went onto a decent 6 figure job in-house or at least midlaw/small law litigating (but still 6 figures).

It's not like V20 corp/lit bros who get kicked out after 5 years end up as Baristas. Biggest xoxo flame trope EVER.

Def propagated by the lawyers from TTTs (see: Pace, BLS, NYLS, SJLS) who missed out on BIGLAW in the first place to feel better about themselves and who TROLL THIS BOARD
