i hate to be a total emory troll but... career data from usnews
(first number is emory, second is w&l)
Percent employed after nine months 98.7% 91.2%
Employed in law firms 68% 58%
Starting salary, private sector (25/75) $60,000 / $102,500 $60,000 / $110,000
Median starting salary, private sector $89,500 $83,500
Percent in private sector reporting salary information 94% 70%
does not seem like w&l has any advantage
one of the big considerations should be size imho, whether size of the law school or size of the town. obvious personal preference issues but emory does have a very good field placement program to take advantage of its location for internships as well as networking and such
