made me think. What exactly are the consequences of attending a law school which is less highly ranked than others? I mean, assuming you graduate, you will end up with your J.D. no matter where you go. I assume that extremely prestigious law firms will be more apt to look at you if you've graduated from Yale rather than Podunk Law School. Even so, you can still be a lawyer and make a fairly good living. Is there anything I'm overlooking here other than perhaps being passed over by elite law firms?
