Usha Rodrigues quotes Larry Summer's quip about Harvard students and wonders about its application to law students:
From the WSJ: "The A, B and C alums at Harvard in fact could be broadly characterized thus, [Summers] said: The A students became academics, B students spent their time trying to get their children into the university as legacies, and the C students—the ones who had made the money—sat on the fund-raising committee."
This split may be true at Harvard. Do you, dear readers, think it's true for law school? My gut says no. Clearly the A students are more likely to choose the ivory tower, but my sense is that many of them go on to make the big bucks in law firms, investment banks, etc. The B students also often end up with large paychecks, but the C students are not as prosperous. Am I wrong?
FWIW, I heard a verison of this for law students that went: A students become law professors, B students become successful lawyers, and C students become judges.
