Maybe we all know the same gentleman, who went from yeshiva BTL to Harvard? Because I know of one, am friends with his mom.

One thing that I’m sure by now that law schools have figured out is the analytical skills that yeshiva students possess. Face it, yeshiva teaches one how to think, secular education does not. So despite what’s lacking in college education, these yeshiva students often rise to the top of their classes, make law review et al. Of course, that has nothing to do with today’s job market. That’s affecting all law school grads, not just former yeshiva bochurim.
