ETA: found it. The law school to law firm break down. It's it not behind a paywall!

I am getting a message that I need to subscribe for access. Might just be me. Otherwise I can stick it in the OP.

I'm not seeing a paywall. The site looks like this:

--ImageRemoved--

important stuff:

Our rankings are based on survey responses from 190 of the largest 250 firms in the country by headcount, as well as additional data gathered from law firm websites. The full methodology is available here. Data was updated on Feb. 27.

Also, if we're adding useful stuff to the OP, add this: A loan repayment calculator

Maybe this, too: Zillow's real estate market In other words, what does a mortgage payment look like when compared to a student loan payment?

Chicago-Kent, full scholarship, part time.

You'll be debt free but your chances of being a lawyer aren't great

(Unless your current company will keep you on)

I think this is pretty much right on. My choice was GT at sticker or Kent. Ended up Kent was the right choice, also entered in 2007 before things went to shit!

What about University of Kentucky with in-state tuition and 50% scholly?

I am from Lexington, have pretty good local connections, and am fine with living in the state after graduation.

So tuition would be $9,000/yr? The school has about a 75% job placement on LST. If you could have your total debt under $45,000, it'd probably be a decent bet. But I dunno the Kentucky market.

Go ahead then. No stip right?

Checking in as a practicing attorney, ready to pounce.

Vandy at 100K debt or a 10-14 at sticker or close to it. Ties to the South (FL, NC) and to NYC. Aiming Big Law (hopefully back to the south at some point)

[cron1834]

Back to the lecture at hand:

UCLA @ a $90k discount? I have never lived in CA, but my brother recently moved to LA and I don't have much family, so it's tempting. Alternatives are lower T14s at sticker or $30-40k shy of sticker.

Whoa Bedsole - you left me out brother - you know I'm always up for this!

Seems good. No debt and urban location will help you focus on getting some experience with internships while in school.
