Which school is better for jobs?

I've heard that NYU's Career Services Office is better than Columbia's. Is that true?

At the moment (and by the time you'll come out) it does not make a difference.

NYU is better, in all aspects, but at the moment it's indeed difficult.

It would make little difference in this economy - particularly if you are not from a common law jurisdiction or do not have a super strong background.

For "Elite" Law firms Columbia is clearly above NYU pursuant to this ranking

Between the two, CLS for sure, no doubt about it. Indeed, if the aim is to get a job, then your first choice is for HLS, YLS, SLS (in that order) which are probably more useful than one from CLS (and by extension, more useful than NYU's, apart from its Tax LLM; for which NYU has a clear strength over these universities). Though I think in today's market, even if you get A+ for every single subject, chances are there are no jobs in NY to apply for, particularly for LLMs.

I suggest you remove the job factor from your admission decisions. Many believe that the current crisis will not end in the next two years, hence getting a job in the US might be too remote to even factor into your decision. If I were you, I would base my decision on the following criteria: (1) school specialty/faculty, (2) school prestige, and (3) location.
