Try again yourself. OP was asking about undergraduate schools. Radford does not have a law school. I graduated from RU and went to grad school and law school elsewhere. I am a partner in a major firm and doing fine.
Even if there is a correlation with attending a particular school and career success it absolutely does not prove causation.
OP should go wherever he wants and make the most of it.
