I would go to the higher ranked overall. I'm a practicing attorney at a big firm, and I've never seen the so-called specialty rankings have any pull during recruiting season!

Any thoughts on 1st Tier, 2nd Tier, etc? I have the 2004 US News and World Report rankings, and were a little bit confused. Some schools are ranked #1 for say environmental law, yet they are a Tier 3 school in the general ranking. Would you recommend going to a school with a higher specialty ranking, or higher overall ranking?
