The End All For Each State's Best Law Schools
This does not include the T14. I will fill in each respective state's best law school as posts occur and debate happens. And i will only include the lower 48 states . Hypothetically speaking, Illinois I believe UIUC is the best school non-T14 in Illinois and Loyola being #2 and so on. And to clear up BEST means best job prospects in the state(overall).

Re: The End All For Each State's Best Law Schools
in Arkansas, UA-Fayetteville is ranked higher. But I don't think it matters. UA-Little Rock probably gives you a leg up b/c of location in both the capital and the state's only real legal market.
On the other hand, if best means "best academic reputation," the I'd say UAF probably wins. But who cares? This has to be about jobs, yes?
That said: When you add in cost, I'd be willing to say UALR is a much better value for Arkansas-focused folk who want to or are forced to study in-state.

You know that there are schools outside the t14 that are going to do better in certain states than the "best school in the state."

Re: The End All For Each State's Best Law Schools
I feel like you may need to geographically break down the state of California further. (Example: Loyola does very well in LA but I don't know how well they place in Norcal.)
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

yes i agree but in general T14 law schools could dominate most states if they need/want to.lawduder wrote:You know that there are schools outside the t14 that are going to do better in certain states than the "best school in the state."

You might start out with Los Angeles and San Francisco. If people are interested you could then expand to other legal markets.prospectiveprospect wrote:I could do that how should i break it down?rx3r wrote:I feel like you may need to geographically break down the state of California further.
