Fascinating. I've been reading a bit of legal history about the U.S. and it's honestly a bit disturbing how long it's been like this at the top courts and political positions. It feels like there must be something distoetionary going on to ensure so many people from elite colleges end up with power. Still it seems like there would be some incentive for a top performer to target colleges in the 2nd rung. That being, you could basically write your own ticket. Want to work on some interesting part of the law or join some specific project? At an elite school you will be fighting to get that. At one level down you can probably walk into whatever you want.
