Market uncertainty aside, if I have good LLM creds and good JD credits but not from a T14, am I dead in the water with Ivins, Caplin, Miller, Kostanetz?

FWIW by “good” I mean cum laude in JD with lots of extracurriculars and 3.69 in LLM (although probably lower after my last two finals 😬). Working full time while completing LLM so I have about 8 credits left to improve/destroy my LLM GPA).

Which LL.M. Program?

That makes sense - I’ve seen a couple of NYU tax folks say they’ve been impressed with the UF GTP graduates, so I was hoping that’d help. Thanks for the response.

I've seen associates woth JDs from outside T50 at those firms. Not sure if they got hired out of LLM.

There is a fair amount of psychology used in advertising - however, psychology is a field of medicine; medical ethics dictates fully informed consent of a patient before use of medical techniques.
