I have read many conflicting books on whether or not is important to go to a top-tier school. I am wondering, now that you have graduated law school if you think the law school you attended has affected your career and your earning potential.
If you do not mind, please tell me where you went to school.

If you are on the East Coast and you want to be a real estate attorney, the law school won't matter much. As a Realtor in California, I can tell you that we have escrow companies that handle closing real estate transactions. That is not the case on the East Coast, where real estate transactions are handled by attorneys. Therefore, there is more business for real estate attorneys on the East than on the West. An average client isn't going to ask you where you went to law school to get your degree. What will matter is networking with Realtors and getting business from them. If you are on the West Coast, you can still work as an in-house attorney for a real estate developer. In conclusion, you should go to the best law school you can get into, but don't worry too much about the ranking. After all, you are the master of your soul. Good luck.

A regulation measure is regularly referred to as a JD which stands for Juris Doctor and is a reliable doctorate that is above a Masters. Masters take from a million-two years to do and, possibly strangely, for the places you're taken with do not truthfully require an undergrad measure within the field you desire to get a Masters in. Quite a couple of men and women who pass to regulation tuition do a mixed JD and MBA where you'll be able to essential in economics when you wish. Masters as opposed to an MBA, even as now not as traditional, are undoubtedly now not unparalleled. Thanks Bill

Yes, where you go to school can affect your first job after law school, however after that job you will be judged on your abilities and drive alone. I attended the University of Georgia Lumpkin School of Law.
