city of chicago attorneys
Do you have to go to a top law school to become a district attorney?
Please be as specific as possible, meaning let me know rough city size with school attended. I am not looking to be the D.A. of Chicago. Thank you for your input.
The DA’s office takes people from all levels of law schools. From top ranked ones to ones that aren’t even ABA accredited. As a law student, I interned at the Sacramento DA’s office. My boss was a top major crimes DA who transferred to dealing with us interns for health reasons. He was one of the best prosecutors, but he went to a non-ABA approved law school.
I know LA, Orange, and SF County DA Offices have people from all sorts of law schools. US Attorneys tend to be from better law schools, but they also will take people from lower ranked ones. The same goes for big law firms. You might have to be at the top of your class at a low ranked school, but you’ll still get a legit shot.
