ATL March Madness: Law Schools, Round 1 (Part 2)
This morning we announced, with much fanfare, the arrival of ATL March Madness: Law Schools. We posted the brackets, which you can review by clicking here, and we opened the polls in one half of the draw.
Now we bring you the other half of the tournament. Here's the first poll, pitting the Midwest against the South:
The rest of the polls -- including a clash of the titans, between Harvard and Georgetown -- appear after the jump.
The city versus the country:
Northern California versus Southern California:

What kind of world do we live in where Stanford is considered to be even remotely cool?
I object, your honor! This trial is a travesty. It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.
Chicago is cool in the same way that fisting is considered cool by many. It hurts, is grotesque, and is unnatural. But many keep coming back for more.
Puke is a lame school.
Temperature wise or "coolness" wise?
Chicagoan +1
I could never endorse any poll that places UVA above the more prestigious, intellectually superior UPenn. Clearly, UPenn supporters aren't voting because they realize that to even accept the premise that there is a contest here is ludicrous.
3:28pm--
Way to embarrass your self-assured peers by actually caring.
3:28pm is an example of one of the many reasons UVA deserves to crush UPenn.
make a poll for Columbia vs. NYU
Per my earlier post, Georgetown is closer to SCOTUS than Harvard. Res ipsa loquitor.
"Loquitur." And maybe your ability to spell legal terms also speaks for itself.
4:53: No need to be snarky. That's my job.
More than snarky, I meant to demean the quality of your legal eduction; sorry, should have been clearer.
Gtown would destroy all of these schools in basketball. That's got to count for something.
Go Hoyas!
Come on...Chicago cooler than Duke? What the hell definition of "cool" are people using?
Anonymous 5:03 pm must have gone to Harvard (or maybe Yale).
This post reminds me of the joke about the Harvard grad and the CCNY grad in a bathroom in MDG during a basketball game, both taking a piss. When both finished, the Harvard guy washes his hands and the CCNY guy heads to the exit where they both meet. The Harvard guy looks with disdain at the guy from CCNY and sniffs "A Harvard man is taught to wash hands after using the restroom." To which the CCNY guys shrugs and responds "Well at CCNY they teach us not to piss all over our hands." That pretty much sums up Harvard (and Yale and other Ivies); you guys spend a lot of time doing the intellectual equivalent of pissing on your hands.
what is a CCNY? and MDG means Masidon Square Garden now?
good joke.
and yes, it was on purpose
Shut up. Half of your classmates will have trouble getting jobs. Now, that is very uncool.

Idiot:
You must be a Stanford grad who has trouble getting laid. Where are you getting this "half" figure from? Don't be hate just because our bar passage rate is higher than yours is.
And starting a comment with "shut up" then posting it five times? Now *that* is uncool.
How intense must 8:41 be to post that note 5 times? "It's not going through" "oh no" *clicks furiously*
I know how to post a comment correctly but still can't get a job. 8:41 probably goes to a tier 1 school and has a job despite their incompetence with basic computer skills.
L2L - that's the kind of intensity you need to make it in biglaw.
dook sucks
way to lose to VCU
'dook sucks?'
that's actually a good point, 8.52, because the value of any law degree is in fact contingent upon the success of the basketball team associated with the law school's university.
damn you, vcu, you've ruined my professional future!
Thomas Cooley is #1
Ah, 3:28 PM. As is true with ever-increasing frequency, UPenn is shown to be a festering TTT. Its reputation, such as it is, just coasting along on the loud clamor of a few overrated prestige whores, desperate to convince themselves and the world that they did not make a shitty choice. Accept it: you went to a more pretentious version of Cornell Law. Killself as needed.
03:15 was probably rejected from Penn
3:15 here: no, got in + $10k/year aid. I decided that UVa was a better way to spend 3 years before shackling myself to a desk. Since I'm slated to go to S&C now, it seems like a good thing I enjoyed my law school years.

ANYTHING but Penn! :)
LOL...4:12 must have decided he was giving too much away by revealing UVA/S&C, then tried to change it. That didn't seem to work out for you, did it?
Anyone have a list of S&C summer associates from UVA?
UVA summer associates at S&C:
Hughes, William C.
Jackson, Matthew N.
Kadekar, Kiran S.
Lorish, Lisa Hess
Lucier, Jonathan T.
Smith, Luke
Zaruba, Mark N.
you people all crazy
One of the things that makes Gtown unique (really, all DC schools to a certaine xtent) are the students in the evening program and the adjunct faculty. Where else can you learn Admin Law from Judge Silberman, Congressional Investigations from Podesta, and have Senate staffers, foreign service members and various other professionals add to discussions? plus, any time something interesting happens in the legal/political community, they go to Capital Hill first and Georgetown is their second stop to discuss it with students, hold a forum or a press conference. You can walk to the Supreme Court or the White House. It is in a perfect location.
