This of course, is in addition to the countless fraternity alumni I know who are lawyers, the 15+ friends I know who are currently in law school, and the person who convinced me to go to law school, a prominant House Republican and former big firm partner. Do I know everything about how firms recruit? Of course not. Do I know a great deal more than most? Most certainly. If you plan on getting your job because of your scores and grades, more power to you and good luck. But I didn't get into law school solely because of those, and I imagine handshaking will be quite important in my post law school plans.
