The ranking of a law school makes not one wit of difference. I work with a dude from Florida Costal Phoenix High School law school and if I were in trouble or needed a PI guy to fight State Farm, I would hire him. Why? Because he has the skills of lawyering down pat. Everybody in the courthouse community loves him and gets a good chuckle when he is around. He is affable as hell and knows the culture. He doesn't even know much law. Who gives a shit when the judges like you? He knows that practicing law is all about talking to the Bailiffs and clerks and POs, etc.....

Holy crap...I just clicked on the link and checked out my law school's rank. Holy crap. I feel the love coming my way. My school just went up six places to 109. I am going to be flooded with job offers, head hunters, clients, referrals, fees, legal work.....I can smell that new Mercedes or Tesla. Put Mrs. Carswell in a new Camry......I can't believe it, my head is spinning.
