I believe that Crist is working with the Tampa Office mainly since he is also teaching at Stetson.

Re: Please rank Florida Law Schools for me.
Hey guys. Ill probably beed attending stetson. I like tampa and the school is beautiful and clearly offers a great education. Is the current ranking enough to warrant me forsaking the acceptance and definitely attending fsu/ uf instead. Im on "HOLD" at both like the other poor souls ive chatted with on TLS. THe Limbo Crowd.LOL

Re: Please rank Florida Law Schools for me.
Even with a full ride I would probably take FSU/UF, but an argument can absolutely be made for the other side, and in all likelihood a convincing one at that.drummerboy wrote:Hey guys.

I don't think many people can debate their International Law program is solid. Just saying. BTW-I want to make sure that you're aware that I actually do respect your opinion from above.

number 1 trial advocacy program in the nation number 5 legal writing. whats so good about uf/fsu programs other than cost. ok fsu is connected to tallahasee but who would want to live there and uf in gainsville what connection to the fl legal market will you have in the 3 years you attend. there is little opportunity to network in gainsville. IMO

Re: Please rank Florida Law Schools for me.
Trial advocacy and legal writing should hold absolutely no persuasive weight to anyone who is approaching admissions rationally. FSU isn't just "connected to tallahassee," the law school is about 500 yards away from the state capitol building, what student seeking a government job WOULDN'T want to live there. Also, if Stetson had a legitimate leg up on UF because of it's networking location, then it would be reflected in the hiring statistics (hint: it isn't)drummerboy wrote:number 1 trial advocacy program in the nation number 5 legal writing. whats so good about uf/fsu programs other than cost. ok fsu is connected to tallahasee but who would want to live there and uf in gainsville what connection to the fl legal market will you have in the 3 years you attend. there is little opportunity to network in gainsville.

Re: Please rank Florida Law Schools for me.
For clarification purposes, in reference to stetson, there is no question that there is a unique connection to the tampa bay legal community. im just saying that when considering a regional school like stetson, the strong networking opportunities during the 3 years is very important. fsu also has them but i wouldnt want to put all my eggs in one basket in that city. uf is in gainesville. not as good pregraduation networking opportunities there. IMO please feel free to disagree. the more info i have the better. thanks

The JAG programs are overstuffed with non URM applicants. A URM probably gets into a JAG program with solid ranking post LS.Mickey Quicknumbers wrote:TOMaHULK wrote:

I could get into JAG as a non URM if the Navy hadn't already broken me.

Did you go to a really good LS? I know 3 people that applied to the JAG programs in various branches post LS and not one got through. One was even a girl. Don't you need really solid numbers?CP2323 wrote:I could get into JAG as a non URM if the Navy hadn't already broken me.

Re: Please rank Florida Law Schools for me.
Southbeach and Coconut Grove is nice in Miami, but I've heard that the areas where the schools are actually based aren't. I personally love Southbeach, but most of the time would be spent on campus, so that might not be a necessary pro.

Prior service with a really good service record.
I haven't attended Law School yet. I know that I would have been super competitive for JAG though if I wasn't a 50% disabled veteran and unable to pass the PRT anymore.

On a brighter note, however, is there any chance of getting uncle sam to pay for your legal education now?
