Which school would you attend if you had to attend one of them and were looking to work in Houston practicing oil&gas law?

I'm not in this market so I have no idea. Obviously I'm inclined to say UofH without looking into the matter, but thought I'd see if fellow xo'ers had any thoughts

UH = TTT

STCL = TTTT

No doubt UH is the better bet, but for fucks sake don't pay for it unless your dad runs an oil company and is going to hire you no matter what.

Then you should be in a good position to contact attorneys doing what you wanna do and ask them for opinions.

With that experience, I'd imagine school rank matters much less. I'd just change the normal calculus by giving a preference to schools that have ties to and classes about o&g.

The real question is why wouldn't you just stay in land and not pay six figures to forgo 3 years of six figure income. You might consider an MBA/eMBA.

That's your prerogative, but I suggest you consider it thoroughly.

But yeah, talk to actual o&g attorneys with knowledge of hiring. If you're a 5 year land bro, you should be able to find a couple. If you can't, that is a bad sign for your future prospects. You'll really want to have connections, even if not super strong. Someone throwing you a bone for a recommendation or referral is a big deal, especially at a TTT.

UHouston and SMU outperform their ranking in biglaw placement. Houston definitely ahead of that South Texas.

Not really, but IIRC, they do a decent job of getting their grads actual law jobs, but it's almost all small firms.
