Someone recently suggested to me that kids from HLS and Stanford are better prepared than Yalies to practice in BIGLAW upon graduation, supposedly because the legal education at the other schools is more rigorous. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. If there is such an effect, do Yalies catch up?
I'm choosing between these three and would like to go to Yale, but I don't want to enter a firm one day and learn that I'm less prepared than my peers. |

The education you get at Yale depends entirely on how much effort you put into it. The grading system is so lax that you can slide by doing very little work if you want to; on the other hand, plenty of people work very hard. If you want to go to Yale but are worried about being "less prepared than your peers" at other schools, then go to Yale and work hard.
