I went to an unranked night law school while working full-time, passed the bar on my first try, and have been working under a successful attorney doing family law for two years. Now, I want to transition into a mid-sized firm's trust and estates practice for more stability and mentorship. I can feel the elitism the second recruiters look at my law school tier, completely ignoring my experience. How do I get past the gatekeepers when my practical skills are actually ahead of my peers?
