The current job market is that unless you have respectable grades in a leading law school (Columbia, NYU, Georgetown, or better), or really outstanding grades elsewhere – your chance of getting a job out of law school is poor. You’ll end up either taking a non-law job to support yourself, or being in a “build up the practice mode” meaning nominal pay or no pay. If you ran up large debts in getting the degrees, you may have a serious problem. Large firms are laying off partners and associates
If your goal is to be a neighborhood lawyer, and you are sufficently entreprenurial to build up a practice, the grades don’t matter (but learned skills do), and having gone to a fancy law school doesn’t matter much. But you’ll hardly be affluent until and unless you build up your practice.
