Really???????????????????????
Yale #1
Stanford #2
Harvard #3
University of Chicago #4
Columbia #5
NYU #6
Pennsylvania #7
UVA #8
UMICH #9
Duke #10
I wouldn’t count on getting into most of these with a BTL, although it has been done occasionally.
NYU get a real degree
NY Law, BTL should be fine.
Bigger question???
Where are you going to practice? For a white shoe goyische firm or Wall Street firm? They’ll want a real college diploma hanging on your office wall besides your JD and Bar Certificate
Some small private firm that does wills, estates, personal injury and real estate closings…they won’t care
Government it doesn’t matter.
I and all my children and their spouses are products of Ivy League universities and law schools. and YES, the old boy (and now girl) network does help land business. Many a trust client has found us by looking in the alumni directory for a Penn, Harvard or Yale Alum practicing in our area.
