How far can a Fordham Law degree take you? Is it strictly regional or are there other states outside of NYC that will look favorably on students from this school?

If you're talking about further down the road, your ability to get a job elsewhere will probably have more to do with your work experience as a lawyer than the fact that your degree is from Fordham.whattheheck wrote:I was curious to know.

TLS stats that Fordham is in a place of its own. Well hopefully they will be able to pull themselves up further in the ranks.
Prior to Part Time being incorporated into the rankings they were typically bouncing around the 20s, and right before the crash Fordham's big law stats were finally even above BU/BC.whattheheck wrote:I was curious to know.
