Do you recommend studying alone during 1L?

In your case, Biglaw1990, I strongly recommend that you study alone.

Do you think he's going to have a lot of choice?

I can't possibly see the benefit in retaking.

CLS has a very deep bench in government. Until last year, arguably the three most important gov't attorneys--the solicitor general, the attorney general, and the SEC head--were CLS grads (and Verilli is still SG). There's also a huge presence at state and in the diplomatic class; the US ambassador to the EU is a CLS grad, for example. So I have a hard time believing Columbia has no advantage over the rest of the T14 or that its such a sharp drop after three schools on us news.

If money is really no issue, I'd go to CLS, but if you could save your parents a headache, NYU offers basically the same thing.

As a final note: while the administration at CLS is pretty shameful, the government advising is actually on point.

Sorry, bungled my post - still getting used to this. Thanks, this is particularly helpful (also, Mary Jo White is also still the head of the SEC ).

How about going to NYU and asking your parents for the price difference to spend on supplemental living costs (aka hookers and blow)?
