Best Schools for Corporate Law

Post by emsk » Mon Apr 03, 2017 2:32 pm

Currently, I have a 3.93/4.00 CGPA at the best university for my major in Canada. I've won over a dozen awards and scholarships, including a few "top student" awards from my own department (I'm not necessarily sure how much these will factor into my application).

Considering what I've mentioned, what sort of LSAT score would I need to get into the best law schools for students interested in corporate law? Is the sky the limit with my GPA?

With that being said, which law schools are the best for students interested in corporate law?

(edit: I realize I should have mentioned this, but I'm mostly interested in US schools).

Any T13 school. Don't think about your LSAT score in terms of "I only have to get [score] for my goals," but if you can break 165, you'll have some options. With your GPA, you should shoot to break 170 so that you have nothing but great options and scholarship offers.

Any T14 will do, but Harvard and Columbia are probably the two big names in Corporate law. It really doesn't matter though, what you want is good grades at a T14, sonthst you will have your pick of corporate biglaw firms.

Yeah, come back to us with an LSAT score, dude. This thread is too speculative at this point.
