Lowest ranked LS where you ASSUME a grad is basically smart/competent

Date: June 10th, 2021 8:31 AM Author: Exhilarant lilac piazza tank Not necessarily brilliant, obviously but what’s the lowest baseline school where when you first work with/opposite someone new and you see they went to X law school your initial assumption is “okay, this guy almost certainly ‘gets it’ at some level and will almost definitely not be a total imbecile” ?

Date: June 10th, 2021 8:37 AM Author: Exhilarant lilac piazza tank For me, i think the cutoff is PEnn. when you see you’ve got a SWeet PEnn grad working on your deal team (or opposite you) you can be fairly confident they’re at least 115 IQ and pretty diligent. Obviously there’s exceptions across all demos and those bets are off when it’s a URM but in general I feel I can expect people from PEnn to not be total fucking morons.
Obv there are some good lawyers out of worse schools too, UVA, Mich, etc. but in general I’ve learned you can’t give those types the same benefit of the doubt. |

Date: June 10th, 2021 8:46 AM Author: Exhilarant lilac piazza tank XO’s extrapolation of what IQ’s “mean” or represent is so all over the place. Idk, tbh. Maybe I’m doing my thread a dis-service and risking sidetracking by putting a equating an “IQ” number to what I’m trying to express.
IME PEnn grads and up, both associates younger than me and partners/counsel older than me, seem presumptively competent and capable of doing “biglaw quality” work more often than not. That’s the point I’m driving at, not what actual IQ goes along w it. Tbh I just threw out a number off the cuff w/o really thinking about it |

This is true in the V10 and maybe ~V25
V50 to V100 are prob bottom of class PEnn fucktards
Keep in mind 1/4 of their class has LSAT below 164… |

Date: June 10th, 2021 11:27 AM Author: talented scarlet faggot firefighter idiot YSH and to some extent CCN have to be discounted to the extent they think they’re too good for biglaw grunt work, which is a different problem, but can still result in a shitty result. I worked at a firm years ago that refused to interview at or hire from YLS bc they had a string of like four 1st years in a row from YLS that were horrendous, not bc they were too dumb but bc they were spending all their time gunning for clerkships and better jobs and then left or got fired after a year. Also CCN is more like Chi - top 90%, Col - top 85%, NYU - top 65%. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4853758&forum_id=2#42604361) |

It’s possible to figure it all out on your own, but 99% of people will miss stuff and have holes in their game if they don’t eventually find a good lawyer who will bring them along.
