Remember the old saying: “Smith to bed, Holyoke to wed”? That alluded to the mating habits of Amherst men back in the dark days when that college was an all-male institution, and Smith and Mount Holyoke were filled with young ladies looking to bag a preppy husband.
Well, I’ve coined a similar saying about law school choices—should you be fortunate enough to have a choice among the very best schools. It goes like this: Columbia for Big Law, Yale for awe. You might disagree, but that’s how I interpret the various rankings that I’ve seen so far this year.
