Since we're on the topic of looking for love out of law school anyway

I was relatively oblivious to the handicap I was giving myself when I enrolled at UMaine School of Law (and I had both personal and financial reasons keeping me in Maine). But, luckily or unluckily, I did well there and got offers at the fancy skyscraper firms in the big city of my choice for my summer associateship. As a summer associate I began to realize what I was up against when I discovered what an indelicate conversation stopper it was to answer honestly when attorneys asked me where I went to school. (Harvard and Georgetown were the acceptable answers at that particular firm.)
Civil Procedure: Why Are Lawyers Such Snobs? [via Bricoleur (where he has added his own take to the conversation)]

Great discussion going on over there. This looks like a good blog by a young lawyer hoping to one day be a good lawyer; go over there and read it.

Update: ongoing discussions effect on those considering law schools.
