SMU Law back into Tier 1

[CalallenStang]

Texas has surprisingly few law schools which is odd in many ways but Baylor and UT are most assuredly the premier schools and in Baylor's case I can understand it to a point since they provide by far the best practically prepared lawyers out of the gate. And the point is well made about the need to excel in your class or your chances of a job dwindle rapidly, although SMU is very strongly backed by the Dallas community. I went to law school in fort Worth to save money and I know 90% of the resumes I submitted in Dallas met the trash can pronto. There is a lot if smoke and mirrors about the law school recruiting process.

SMU and Houston have been consistently ranked above Baylor for eternity

I graduated from SMU law and immediately had job offers in New Orleans, Dallas, Miami, Toledo, Lexington and San Diego. Obviously I chose San Diego. Practiced for 20 years and retired there. I'm sure many of my classmates fared better. SMU opened the doors for me and I'm proud to be an SMU law grad.
