The Fordham hiring star chamber is real and gets stronger year over year. This explains a lot.

Of these firms on Leiter's list, Fordham has two associates at Covington & Burling and none at Williams & Connolly.<BR/><BR/>As Leiter makes clear, Fordham's great strength in terms of hiring is at the New York based firms, and none of the firms you ask about is a New York firm, so these are not the firms that have the most Fordham associates. A parallel story can be told about many of the other law schools in top 15. For example UCLA (not ranked) has few associates at New York firms, and the same is true of USC (not ranked). Much law firm hiring comes from the leading law schools in the city where the firm has its base. The fact that New York is home to many of the nation's top law firms is a major reason why Fordham Law is among the leading law schools at the nation's top firms.News Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241799752783714281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755963245861968685.post-50575655443374560222008-10-17T05:10:00.000-04:002008-10-17T05:10:00.000-04:00Sorry for the delay on this.
