Let's drop the elitism for a minute. Everyone has a T2 school they think is fantastic. Without the rankings or any of this published data, I would love to go to Chicago-Kent, Seattle-U, BLS, Loyola-L.A., or Miami. I also like Southwestern, Santa Clara and Pacific. In fact, some of those were my top choices before I learned about the rankings, bar passage rates, employment stats, etc. I just loved those schools. What about you? w/o rankings/published data, which schools would you like?

No T14 or Tier-1 answers please!!

University of Florida, because #51 is still not top 50

I would also say UF. Ranked #51, best in FL (my home state), and Gainesville is a fun place. Also, tons of hot girls.

I met someone who went to U of Hawaii and he loved it. So I would have to agree with all the above posters.

I live near Univ. Hawaii. The location is really nice. I volunteer with the local ACLU and went to an event recently at UH law. The students were mostly happy to be there. Only one 3L gave me the impression that he didn't like it but he really didn't seem to like law not specifically UH. I have a couple of friends there. They are serious about school but laid back too. If you are going to live here in Hawaii then it is considered a very good school. You can meet a lot of local law firms and judges and alumni. I applied there.

Although I think the top schools would still be considered as such with or without USNEWS.
