Palm trees and casebooks? It seems an odd mix, but it is exactly the mix that students at the University of Miami School of Law enjoy. The law school is located in Coral Gables, Fla., on the main campus of its parent university. The law school boasts a beautiful campus in a subtropical environment at the crossroads of the Americas. Despite the high tuition and the 55% full-time, long-term legal employment rate, Miami may be a consideration for applicants who plan to practice law in Florida. Admissions and tuition Miami does have a slightly relaxed admissions rate. In 2011, the law school granted admission to 47.0% (2,195 out of 4,670). Out of those, 447 enrolled. For the class entering in 2012, the 25th to 75th percentile GPA range was 3.13-3.57 and the range for the LSAT was 156-159. Employment
