>Edit: What I mean to say is, the good lawyers make the same good money, the vast majority of lawyers do not.

It's also not even about being a "good" lawyer. It is completely determined by your law school and GPA. The big firms won't even look at your resume if you're not from a top 10 school.

The lawyer who helped my mom write her will was a co-worker at a department store before he went to night school and got a law degree.

He was good at that area of law, one which everyone encounters at least once in life. He did not do the work million-dollar lawyers do and he did make millions.

T13, and with some exceptions (some law firms will draw a top few students from more local law schools, for example, also certain specialties get different treatment).

But generally yes. School first, then class rank.
