Uconn
This will probably be a worst case scenario safety school but what do people think/know about Uconn school of law (specifically employment prospects) other than what's on the TLS profile. Is it true that you can practice in connecticut during your 3L?

Re: Uconn
UCONN is fine if you are okay ruling out working in a firm with more than 50 people or any fortune 500 companies. You are going to be in a good market for small firms and government work, but you have almost no chance at biglaw or bigcorp.

Re: Uconn
And for those very reasons, it will be shunned by most of TLS. Its a good law school that will place you into a respectable career. You won't have the prestige or the $160,000 salary, nor will you have the corresponding stress. I would recommend it if that lines up with your life goals.Slevin Kelevra 2011 wrote:UCONN is fine if you are okay ruling out working in a firm with more than 50 people or any fortune 500 companies.

Re: Uconn
I'm really shooting for GW, BC, BU, Fordham but Uconn and PSU would be my two safety schools. I'll be engaged right before I start LS so I understand that during LS it will be tough to spend time together but I don't want to spend the next few years out of LS also not seeing her so BigLaw probably isn't for me.
