Adam Leitman Bailey, a partner at a small real estate firm in New York, has a message to all you graduates of fancy-schmancy law schools: Don’t send me your resume.

Here’s what he writes in Huffington Post:

In order to strive to become one of New York’s best real estate law firms we do not hire law school graduates from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia or any of the other traditional highest tier schools.

Our hires come from the top of the classes of the second, third or fourth tier law schools. We find these men and women we take under our wing to be more ambitious and more hungry to excel in the legal profession. They are hard-working and usually grew up with a middle or lower class upbringing.
