re: LSU Law vs. Tulane Law

At the end of the day, it really only matters if you can produce. Can you generate revenue for the firm? I think the legal industry was padded with additional layers of fluff for a number of years. Graduating law school classes were full of entitled $60K wannabe millionaires. The downturn in the economy forced clients to cut a large part of legal, forcing law firms to cut the fluff and run more efficiently. I think the attorneys that come into the practice these days can be successful if they work hard at honing their craft and focus on developing clients and producing revenue. Technology has made it easier to do that in my opinion. I think the inefficient model of 5-10 years ago was more worried about the school than firms are today. The focus of today is finding the right fit and getting that person to produce.
