Top Law Schools

Hi, I am deciding between Lewis and Clark and University of Illinois.

Lewis and Clark offers a high quality of life, which is very important to me. I am the organic, active type. However, I am also a capitalist. When I sat in a law class at L&C, the professor took a couple of cheap shots at capitalism. I am afraid the majority of the professors and the students would be so liberal to the point that I would feel isolated.

Additionally, I am very interested in economics and law. This is obviously UI's department. L&C does not offer a curriculum that really appeals to me. I know first year is pretty standard, but should I be concerned about the curriculum in considering the following 2 years?

I can't see myself living in Illinois after I graduate, but I could see myself living in Oregon.

Also, is there a large discrepancy in private vs. public law schools?

Please leave some advice.

Well if you don't want to work in IL and don't seem to really want to work in OR, where do you want to work and why aren't you applying to schools in that place?

do you have ties to either region, or scholarship? if not, you should not attend either school.
