Depends on your goals.

If I didn't have the numbers for the T-20 I would very easily choose T4 at full ride in my hometown region.

With the numbers i have now and the schools / scholarship money I've received, Georgetown would have been as low as I could see myself going with a full scholarship.

Vanderbilt? I passed on a full ride from a T1 school in my region to attend Duke with a half scholarship, so I guess that's the line for me.

Well, that wasn't really the question. I don't want you to consider other offers. I mean, at what point would you not go to law school at all, versus going to a school with a full ride. I.e., would you go to Cooley with a full ride?
If the choice is between full ride or not attending law school at all? Yeah, I'd go to a T4. I mean, with my numbers I wouldn't, but if we're talking theoretically, yeah. I want to be a lawyer and I know at least one person who would hire me no matter where I went to school.

I think it would depend on where the school was. I might take a full ride at a T3 if it were one of only a few schools in that state/market. I would most certainly not take a full ride at, say, John Marshall Law School ITE. There are way too many other schools sending kids into the same market and gobbling up all the jobs.
IOW, I would want a realistic hope of finding work when I graduated.

In retrospect, I would have gone to any school for free in the state where I want to end up over sticker at any T14.

The school I'm attending (not on a full scholarship). In fact, there are some technically higher ranked schools that I would turn down even with a full ride. But TBF, I decided to go to my state school. I would never go to a T3/T4 and there aren't any in my state anyway. It really depends on where you want to live/work.

I would say tier two unless it is a lower tier school that dominates its market. I really want to be a lawyer but going to a tier four school doesn't guarantee you will even be able to practice law when you graduate let alone find a law job that would be interesting or fufilling.

Probably top 75ish. No lower than T1, unless there was a T3 school that was really well respected in the region I wanted to work in and I felt like it was a good fit.

Well the question sucks then. There's absolutely no way to tell without considering geographic preferences and your other options.
I guess if we're doing this hypo for Alabama/the south (since that's where I live) I'd say I would probably take a full ride at Cumberland, but not really since if I had a full ride there I'd probably have an acceptance from Alabama.

Really, there are people on here who just wouldn't go to law school if somehow their only acceptances were at schools ranked 20-30, even if those schools offered full rides?
If you have that little interest in being a lawyer, why go to law school at all?

I don't get it... like most the people in this thread wouldn't even take a full ride below T14 ot T20 even if they had no better offers? Come on...

My view on this question is changing, as it now seems like a lot of T2's are 50/50 propositions of getting ANY job.
Maybe UNLV?
You could make an argument that it's Hastings. Hell, you could make an argument that its BC.
