Ohio law schools

Post by MusicMan » Mon Apr 05, 2010 5:16 pm

I am trying to decide between several law schools in Ohio. On the one hand, I want to minimize debt, but on the other hand, I don’t want to sell myself short.

I do want to practice in Ohio. Biglaw is not critical. I would especially love to hear from anyone with knowledge of the Ohio legal market.


Are the higher-ranked schools worth the extra debt?


Here are my choices:

Cleveland Marshall: full scholarship
Top ~33% of class required to renew (approximate)

Case Western: $35,000 annual scholarship (Tuition=$40,000/yr)
Top ~40% of class required to renew (approximate)

Ohio State: $12,000 annual scholarship (Tuition=$22,000/yr)
Top ~50% of class required to renew (approximate)

No reason not to go Moritz.
