Aren't all the top legal jobs in the US taken by graduates of quite expensive private schools?

Yes, being a lawyer is an extreme example where you need both top grades and a top 20 rated school. I wouldn't recommend that career if your parents can't pay your way as the risk of not making it into a top legal firm even if you meet those requirements is still high.

"Getting a job as a lawyer" != "getting a job at a top firm", though. And lawyers tend to get paid fairly well, even if not at a top firm.
