If the goal is admission to an elite national law school and finding employment in “Big law”, a BTL is not the best way to go. In all situations, other than working for a frum organization, a BTL is quite unimpressive, meaning the other aspects of the resume have to be impressive, such as standardized tests, references, job history, specific courses, other accomplishment. A BA/BS from an elite university carries the most weight.
For some purposes, a BTL is fine. Non-elite law schools don’t mind them (but again, they’ll look at the rest of the resume). Government agencies that require “a bachelor’s degree” don’t mind them – but they may request a specific subject background.
