Not all that important. I clerked at a Med & Legal Mal Defense firm and an admiralty firm and now do corporate transactional and litigation work.
I highly recommend externing for a judge for credit -- the connections you'll make there are invaluable.
As for the money issue on where to go to law school, I stand strong on my belief that you go to the best school you get into. Many times that is a public school, but other times it is not. In California we are fortunate that there are a lot of good state law schools, but there is still a difference b/w how firms across the country and in california look at degrees from different schools.
