One Reason People Pay $100K for Law School

The internet is rife with law student blogs, and I follow several. Today I ran across an interesting contrast between going to school in Little Rock and going to school in a place like New York:
At Bowen, as many as twenty law firms visit campus every semester to interview potential clerks. Ambitious students put themselves through five or six interviews in a two week period. Compare that to NYU, where the school sets up interviews by asking students to rank the top fifty law firms they'd like to work for. Wow.

Of course, the pain of interviewing with 35-40 (not all 50 bids result in interviews) firms and getting shut out might make us feel that extra $100k of debt a bit more :)
