Top Law Schools

Hey Guys- trying to make final decisions. I am not sure what kind of law I want to practice, but want to be involved with international programs and human rights. Possibly litigation as well- we'll see if I don't bomb. Or maybe I will change my mind 6 other times.

I realize these schools are all over the place, but I am not concerned about location. I would be happy to end up in any of these areas. Except Iowa- but they place pretty well outside of state from what I understand. Plus, my 2nd and 3rd year I would have in-state tuition which is much more palatable.

Anyway- what do you guys think about these schools in terms of reputation and employment? I am having trouble ranking them.

Here is my pro/con list so far, please feel free to add.

Emory- Pro: great reputation in the area, $57,000 scholly over 3 years, ties to Atlanta, fantastic International Law program
Con: I've heard many horror stories about Emory students- can anyone speak to this?
Tulane- $60,000 scholly, LOVE New Orleans, laid back atmosphere, fantastic International Law program and one of the largest collections of International Law
Con- less prestigious, COA is still right up there with Emory. Possibly can get more money from this one though.
