Not a chance in hell, merit in law, as far as employment goes is the biggest lie a law school makes.

A guy with a 2.0 average, but great at networking, will get a job or better job well before a 4.0 student with not contacts.

What you know and who you know... some saying about that. Either way, it is the latter that is most important.

Another saying... A good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge.... Welcome to America.
