Why don't you wait until you have an SA offer in hand before thinking about it.

They'll pay for 3 years of law school but won't guarantee you a job? Usually those kind of deals require that you work for them for N years after so they can recoup their investment. Odd arrangement.

Anyway, how much is tuition?

25k per year (Rutgers Law), I have two years left so 50k. The govt job would prob hire me but the pay is low-50-60k, that's why I'm not sure if I should stay if that means I won't be able to summer at a firm......

I know I shouldn't worry about it until I have the offer but just wanted to get feedback.......
