We examined the alma maters of the state’s governors, legislators, judges, bar presidents and law firm leaders. We even explored an anti-bragging right: the schools with the most graduates disbarred in recent years.
You may be surprised by the results.
Mizzou came away with the most first-place finishes. But each school in the survey has reasons to puff its chest and blast out a boastful e-mail to would-be students and potential donors.
