Mobe613 – saying you are entering law school with the hope of getting a job at the top 10 firms (actually, the list is a bit longer, the goal is “big law”) is like saying you want to go to yeshiva, but only if you’ll end up as a Rosh Yeshiva. Even in the top law schools (there are about 20 that have national reputations), most don’t end up in big firms, and many of those end up leaving the big firms (remember that the big firms hire many more associates than they have possible vacanies as partners – the majority work as associates and move one other work).
Anyone going to law school with the idea he (or she) will end up as a partner in a major firm, especially someone who is Shomer Mitsvos, is seriously deluded. There are plenty of options to get a middle class lifestyle out of law, and presumably someone going to law school does so since they find law interesting as a subject – but going to law school since you expect a prize from entering big law is naive, dumb, and likely to end very badly.
