But I remember very well in 2002 looking at the
employment stats presented by what would become my law alma mater, and thinking, well, this is not a prestigious law school, but their
graduates get jobs... and in my mind, I filled in that crucial space after the word «jobs» with, «as lawyers.»
The Above the Law blog had a slightly different, but still pessimistic, take on the law school path, asserting in their post titled Go to a Top 50 Law School or Don't Go at All that «recent
employment stats suggest that there are really only 50 schools worth going to, if you want to get a job after you
graduate from law school.»
