In 37+ years of practice I have noticed one correlation that proves true: The more a client says that they hate lawyers; the worse they are as a human being and by that I mean fucking awful people. Thanks for the admission guys.
There are some good lawyers. Honestly what I've observed over the years is that, outside of the top 20 or so law schools, just about anyone with a pulse can get in.

I think it's more dependent on the difficulty of the particular state's bar exam than the law school's ranking. Some states it's easy to pass the bar exam, and even in states with more difficult bar exam there's a lot of incompetent lawyers. But there's higher per capita quantity of incompetent ones in the easy bar exam states. To your point on law school ranking, there is higher competency coming out of the top law schools. There's also top notch lawyers deriving from lower ranked schools, just fewer on average than the top schools.

I actually I agree with Skibum on that. A lot of people hate lawyers for not doing shady shit for them.
