Do law schools usually announce merit awards at the time of acceptance? If not, how long will it be before I can assume I didn't receive any merit aid?

It's different for every school. If you have questions I'd call the school and ask.

Is it also different depending on the student? The schools I'd love to receive some sort of aid from are Michigan, Georgetown, NYU, or Berkeley. No news in my acceptance letters though.

Georgetown's said they'll be releasing scholarship news at the end of March. I don't know about the others. Read the financial aid stuff carefully and check out the school forums. I'm sure you'll find the answers.
