Unlike undergrad, law school specialty rankings are meaningless. But since you are trying to work for a public interest job, consider going to a law school where you have a significant, if not full tuition scholarship.
That's what I figured. Thanks, all!
LRAP at a highly-ranked school with PI placing power is arguably a better deal than a full scholarship at a school unlikely to get you the job you want.
Noooo way. These are often the people who end up hating law practice. Take the full tuition scholarship so you aren't locked into law for the next 10+ years.
