As someone who attended an 'elite' (top 25) law school myself, I can tell you that the accepted idea of the 'top' is virtually meaningless. I agree that it takes a while to 'catch up', but I am glad that we are finally breaking free of the notion Harvard and Yale are where its at. For example, Robert Bork, who was incredibly brilliant, went to University of Chicago Law School, and no one thought he was less of an elite mind than anyone on the court in the 1980s or 90s (his legal views were unacceptable to the Democrats in Congress at the time).
