Do you want big law?
ClerkHopeful
13:40
not particularly
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:40
Yeah then go notre dame
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:41
I assume notre dame offered you more scholarship money
ClerkHopeful
13:41
yes
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:41
Pretty open and shut case the

Then
MightyUnableSphinx
13:41
surely cornell positions you for a clerkship better than notre dame?
MightyUnableSphinx
13:42
maybe not by like
MightyUnableSphinx
13:42
a huge amount but like?
ClerkHopeful
13:42
no
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:42
Not really Cornell is pretty bad for clerkships
MightyUnableSphinx
13:42
huh
MightyUnableSphinx
13:42
what you are wanting to do would be very difficult for me to do tbh
MightyUnableSphinx
13:43
but if you know what you want, then what you want to do makes 100% perfect crystal clear sense

Cornell is a biglaw factory

cornell def has a stronger network on the east coast and that's where id like to able to practice eventually but... it feels wrong and Notre dame feels right
jb2028

Cornell's "eventually clerk" number is 20%. It's not as high as some other schools (their "eventually clerk" % is also higher than the "right after graduation" figure) but not super different from other T14s either

Per: https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/careers/judicial-clerkships/
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:46
Jb can I do California big law from cornell
jb2028
13:52
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Hard to say for sure. CA is Cornell's #3 destination (per https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EQSummaryReport-4-3-2024.pdf), but that's a small share of the class - 8 grads out of 174 compared to 111 in New York. Probably some self-selection (a lot of people looking at NYC biglaw), but you'd likely need to get good grades and put serious effort into networking. Not a layup like Cornell to NYC.

Did NYU have another E wave yesterday?
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:53
Okay thank you for the detailed explanation. Looks like NYC it is. Betting on 8 out of 174 is hubris
jb2028
13:58
Worth noting it's probably not 8 out of 174 people with CA as their goal - if someone goes to Cornell, they're almost certainly interested in NYC or open to it - but maybe 8 of a couple dozen that apply to CA
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
13:59
Alright, there’s probably some self selection but it’s not nearly as consistent as. Cornell—>NYC
