Kent or Loyola for IP Law? Forum

[lawbird]

Hey everyone!

I study software engineering and I'm interesting in pursuing a career in patent law. Including living expenses and taking into account scholarships, Kent will cost me $110,000 and Loyola will cost me $100,000. I don't have a preference on where I want to live after graduation. Which is better for IP law?

From my understanding, Kent is better, but those are both way too much for those schools. Even if you're a little more secure cause of IP, retake or negotiate for more money because their employment stats aren't good enough to justify that price

Too much for either. You probably need to retake the LSAT. What are your stats?

Debt seems to high for either.

Is that cost figure just tuition+fees, or is it total COA?

Both schools are bad choices at that price and if you are going to go to either, you better have a preference for Chicago.
