Note that these law schools are stereotypical second- and third-tier institutions. Despite what critics might say, it is possible to go to Biglaw if you hail from a lower-ranked law school. Of course, we should warn readers that the percentage of graduates heading to the holy land is much smaller when compared to the elite law schools that top the NLJ’s list. (For example, while T14 schools shipped 44 to 65 percent of graduates off to Biglaw, the lower-ranked schools sent 8 to 12 percent of their graduates to Biglaw. It’s the difference between being able to pay off your law school debts in a timely fashion, and… not.)

Either way you slice it, this list is incredibly useful — and even more so, now that tuition has been listed — in that it’s a great way for law students, both current and prospective, to gauge their employment prospects in a still-recovering market. Use it wisely and ignore it at your peril.
