MILWAUKEE has tons and tons of alums from Marquette, and they don't consider those students to be less than UW's at all. I am sure your 6 months of law school have taught you a lot, but they haven't informed you about how to NOT run your mouth off without some facts to back you up. Consult a hiring partner who went to Marquette at any medium sized firm in Milwaukee, and you will find that there is no hesitation to hire Marquette grads.
My father is a partner for a mid law firm in Milwaukee (UW grad), my uncle is a partner (involved in hiring) for one of the few big law firms in Milwaukee (Marquette grad), my grandfather was a partner at a big law firm in Milwaukee for 25 years (Marquette grad). My mother, while not a lawyer, works in placement for a major midwest law school. My Aunt is a senior associate at mid law firm in Milwaukee (Marquette grad).
The one thing they ALL say: UW students are much more highly recruited. Period. It's actually not that easy to get UW students to move to Milwaukee. Most want to stay in Madison or move away. I grew up in Milwaukee and completely understand why. Hiring partners aren't stupid and their egos aren't big enough to want a less intelligent Marquette grad over a UW grad (no, that's not a blanket statement that all Marquette grads are stupid). No one is offended by it, it's just a reality. Are there more positions held by Marquette students in Milwaukee? Probably... in the same way there are more positions held by Cooley students in Lansing.
Marquette grads recognize the huge difference in the incoming class. It's not like the GPA/LSAT profiles are similar or the schools are closely ranked. If Marquette was ranked #60 or something (thus having higher scores), they probably would be close to equal in terms of recruiting in Milwaukee. But again, it's not even close. Firms see this and want the best students they can get. A near T3 school graduate can't compete with a mid T1 school graduate (1.5 hours away) of the same class ranking in the T3's home town.
I actually know many partners in firms in and around Milwaukee (many are Marquette grads). Marquette is certainly considered a good school by them and they'd prefer hiring them over some other higher ranked, but non-local schools. But everyone is in agreement that Marquette doesn't compete with UW. It's common sense. You act like someone intelligent enough to make partner is so blinded by law school loyalty that he wouldn't take a better applicant from a nearby school. I know that when I get my UW degree, if I stay in Madison, I wouldn't think twice about hiring a Northwestern or U of C student over a UW student with a similar class rank (outside of the top 10% or so). It's a better school with smarter students.
EDIT: and I apologize about the football comment.
