Does turning down acceptances effect future acceptance?

If I turn down an acceptance from a law school, would it decrease of my chances of getting into that same school when applying another year? I'm afraid schools may see it as a sign of lack of interest.

Shouldn't matter, just be courteous with declining their offer.

It certainly does not effect future acceptances, otherwise people would be doing it right and left

And no, definitely not. Give a legit reason for declining.

No. I am a reapplicant. I applied to every school I applied to last year and got into every school I got into last year (except with more $$$).
