Princeton doesn't have a law school. The other three you named are the top 3 law schools and the most difficult to get into. Yale has been #1 in the entire history of US News & World Report rankings (Harvard tied with it once but has otherwise been #2 or #3).
Yale Law School produces a disproportionately high number of future law professors because of its ranking and because of its emphasis on research and writing papers as a student. If you want to be an academic, it's by far the best school for you. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with professors (most classes are under 20 students; the student-faculty ratio is 7:1), which helps you get a job as a professor because they can mentor you through the process, improve your writing (it's a basic requirement that you publish your work in order to get a teaching job at good law schools), and provide letters of recommendation. A judicial clerkship after graduation is also common among professors, and over 50% of Yale graduates complete such clerkships (a higher percentage than at any other school).
E-mail me if you have any other questions; I'm a student at Yale Law School currently.

You mean theory? Well, Princeton has no law school so you can't count it. Otherwise, the other three are good.
Yale is acknowledged as the top school for legal academics. A high %, if not most, of its grads don't even practice law as regular lawyers.

Yale. Harvard is highly overrated.

There are NO jobs in this vocational field.
Do this search: "student sues law school".
Good luck.
