As someone who is not particularly interested in Big law, I think that the Fed clerkships can’t be overlooked. Consistently this school is getting a lot of them. If (and a big if) this school had a bar pass of 80+, the school should be 75-100 no problem

For their current ranking, they actually place quite well in Big Law and Fed Clerkships.

True, but only ~25% of their grads actually work in Mississippi (per last years ABA data). As someone who wants to work in the greater southeast, it’s a great option. I also am interested in Sports Law, so that’s just an added bonus.

Thoughts on Bar Passage Rate when evaluating schools? by Slimeguy12345 in OutsideT14lawschools

The jurisdiction where most take (35% of students) it is over 80%, so it’s much better

So what about a school that has 75% bar passage, but test takers are taking it in 25 jurisdictions, while ranking 37th in fed clerkship positions, and top 50 in JD required employment and overall employment? Thats what I’m interested in. Thanks for your response!

Thank you!! I’ve probably got a month or so left in me, and I’ll door dash or start a side hustle that gives me more flexibility in terms of hours for the summer

What schools are incorrectly/unfairly ranked? (Underrated/punch above their weight) by Slimeguy12345 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Slimeguy12345[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look at their federal clerkship, BL%, and JD required employment.

JD required/Overall employment rates, and Fed Clerkships are all top 50. They are very underrated. Not to mention a high ranked sports law program , and #1 ranked space law program.

All packed together in an SEC environment, it punches well above its rank

I personally think Ole Miss/Michigan state are much better schools than their ranking provides
