Top Law Schools

Baylor with $18,000 / year (and a GPA requirement that apparently hard to maintain)

Case Western with $20,000 / year

Denver with $22,000/year

Seton Hall with $35,000 / year (I would only have to pay $8,000/year - if I could make it through 3 years in Newark.)

Also, does anyone know anything about transferring? I've been wait listed to Wake Forest and American and I REALLY want to graduate from a tier 1 school.

Thanks!

Where do you want to work? What do you want to do? Also, don't fret about the magical Tier 1.

American is an awful deal at sticker.

Seton Hall is decent because of the money. Case has a wider regional reach than the others. Denver is in a great city and does well, but ONLY in Colorado. It entirely depends upon what you want to do and where. Baylor is very, very conservative. I don't know if that matters to you, but it's just something.

I don't really know where I want to work, but I would like to do something with public interest (which is why Seton Hall would be great). I don't know if I want to be "stuck" in Colorado (I'm from NY). And I'm liberal.... but you can learn the most from the opposition, right?

Thanks for your response!

PI = Seton Hall, since you want to have as little debt as possible. (BTW, does that scholarship have a grade stip on it?)

Seton Hall is in New Jersey, so...don't go there.

I'd say this is between Seton Hall and Case Western unless you want to go to very regional schools not in 'your' region. Seton Hall is a good deal for you but it doesn't place many lawyers into PI jobs, and most people end up around NY/NJ afterwards, which might be okay for you, you can compare them all here: http://www.nalplawschoolsonline.org/

Don't go to Denver. Their legal market is not doing well and DU grads are having a rough time of it. I'm probably going to Case so that would be recommendation because I don't know much about the others.
