I think top schools have more of an allure to me, because I assume they have it really easy. It could really just be hard for everyone.

yes but the schools in the OP are not worth a full price IMO. harvard? yeah go. regardless of the debt bc u will be hired regardless cornell? maybe not. know some unemployed grads who can't bank on that name.
the old adage i used to hear was go T-14 or Howard if you're black.

It depends. The law school name is important if you do not have contacts already in the legal profession or you want to get into a decent sized firm. As far as the legal recession, it depends on what legal field you intend to pursue. After 7 years and you make a name for yourself, the school usually does not matter any longer. I practice energy law with a focus on energy markets (which is M&As, financing, etc) (very few AAs in the profession) and the field is heavily recruited.
BTW, I have been a lawyer for 18 years now. It is a great profession. Boy, do I feel old.  |

do you mind telling us the schools? regardless don't get into debt just because you're interested in the law. since most people hate law school you could just get a master's and see if they'll allow you to take some interdisciplinary courses. |
UC Irvine U of MD U of Richmond Howard U of DC U of Akron Southwestern La Verne Michigan State
waiting on UCLA (hands down where I would go)

Which one is free? I went to MSU for undergrad. I got in there, but they didn't offer any money. You are going to law school at a great time. Applications are at a 30 year low. That means you can get into a much better school. |
Damn...I should have went the law route...

I agree with you. When I first graduated ppl were going on and on about the nations recession....and You really can't group all fields together because things like m&a thrive off of recessions..so ppl needed to be looking there.
