Where does People's Court fit in?

The Wapner Court was the supreme Law of the Land, the law clerk for The Wapner Court had the golden ticket not just to BigLaw... but to the mythical BiggerLaw.  And if they graduated not just from a T14, but a T√π(∞), they could go to BiggestLaw.

The Koch and Sheindlin versions?  eh, below the Food Court, but slightly above Teen Court.... slightly.

It depends somewhat on what you want to do.  If you're big in to tax, tax court goes higher.  If you're big into bankruptcy, bankruptcy goes higher.  If you're big in to appellate, maybe state appellate goes higher.  Also, a few other considerations: magistrate judges and court of federal claims.

Federal appellate is tough to get.  It helps if you did an internship with a district judge who can make  the call.  I think federal bankruptcy court is bomb, only because bankruptcy is such a varied field.
