The prestige/quality of law school that one attends is kinda at best an imprecise snapshot of that person's capabilities at just one particular point in time. What you do after you graduate matters a lot too. And let's not get started on the luck/money factors that go into a person's choice of law schools.

Sardonically, one might ask: "Why does a Rolex hold more prestige than a Swatch, if the only purpose of a watch is to provide the observer a measure of time?"
The Rolex is the older brand, historically favoured by eminence and has the benefit of greater accuracy ( there could perhaps be dependence between these factors). As a result it commands the higher price and reputation.
In terms of a university education, the analogy of accuracy is a very important word: Rigour.
Given the nature of the observer, the level of rigour will matter. Some observers will not see this distinction necessary or fail to see it: these are the ordinary jobs. Other observers will be able to tell the difference: These are the higher level positions. A notable example is the legal profession.
If a person is facing a murder charge, is he more willing to entrust his life to a cambridge lawyer or Suss lawyer?
