Top Law Schools

Debt will be minimal in both instances.

Not looking for Big Law. Want to start out somewhere in the public sector. No specific niche interest like IP or International.

Leaving a lot of NJ contacts of mine for D.C. Is this worth it even if the debt load will be small? Are the opportunities in D.C. so great that it would be foolish to turn down? I feel like going to RU keeps me out of Art. III clerkships and other Federal opportunities. Any thoughts?

I would think RU-N would make you more competitive for NJ Clerkship opportunities if that is the path you would like to take. A lot of people on here will tell you not to go to either sticker though.
