In reply to: ND in general had a relatively high Jewish population posted by ShermanOaksND
Many blue-blood big firms had zero Jewish attorneys until the late 1950s, or even later. That's the main reason why many other firms were almost exclusively Jewish -- rather analogous to the need for historically black colleges.
Some of those stories seem almost unbelievable today -- such as Sandra Day O'Connor, despite graduating third in her Stanford Law School class in 1952, only being offered legal secretary jobs. But they're true.
