TT versus Ranked

Post by hokie6260 » Mon Dec 21, 2015 10:06 pm

I am a non traditional applicant and military veteran with law enforcement experience. I am interested in criminal law in a certain state. I have been accepted to a private TT school in that area that has decent employment stats for that area. I just got accepted to a ranked school (albeit not super high, but ranked nonetheless) that is just over the border to another state. They have decent job placement in my state also. I received enough scholarship offers from both schools that my GI Bill will cover full tuition.

I am super confused on what to do. My gut tells me to go to the larger ranked school with deep traditions?? I truly am lost....would take any constructive advice!!

You need to understand what it takes to practice criminal law and then the answer will probably be crystal clear.

Instead of oblique hypos posed to the internet I would start talking to real life attorneys who do what you want to do and see what they say. The younger they are, the better. Sometimes older attorneys can be really out of touch when it comes to the modern job market.
