IMO, If you want to work non-profit, public interest, I'd say go where you will have least amount of debt.

1) Fordham PT, no aid, but a job that would cut the cost in half. solid NLJ250 placement
2) solid T2, full scholarship. best in it's state (and not in a crowded legal market). good clerkship placement
both locations (geographically) have pros and cons, and essentially equal. where should i go?

UNLV. If you want PI and aren't thinking T14 you shouldn't pay sticker. This is super extra true for Fordham PT with 4 years insane COL. If you are happy to practice in Nevada, I think you've got yourself a pretty sweet deal. A PI starting salary goes are loooong way in the desert.
