As for preparation...concentrate on doing the things that will get you admitted to the best law school possible (LSAT, keep your grades up, don't blow up any buildings). Law school is there to teach you. You aren't expected to know everything coming in.
PS. UGA has a really neat law school. The location is awesome, and the cost is about as cheap as you can get.

Re: University of Georgia School of Law
Graduates from the Law School enter private practice on average making 105,000 dollars starting; $120,000 in the ATL area (--LinkRemoved--). The law buildings and libraries are nice. The students seem to be a very close-nit group; I walk by the law school everyday and go downtown for lunch everyday and there is always a large group of law students congregating and conversing.
The only people I have ever known that had a negative perception of the Law School were those that I think have a problem with law school in general; they dislike the work load and the pressure, they dislike the kind of direct, in your face approach of legal education; they consequently also placed in the bottom of their respective law classes.
I know a number of people personally who went to UGA Law, had a great time in law school, made many friends, incurred very little debt, and are now either working at firms like Alston and Bird, and King and Spalding, or are clerking for federal district court judges.
I myself will attend UGA Law unless I can get into myself into T-14 (excluding Cornell and Penn).

Re: University of Georgia School of Law
What are you kidding? I wouldn't go to cornell or penn if they PAID me. No really, if the PAID ME. In fact, I wouldn't even go to their campus or look at one of their students. I don't even like that I just typed the names of C****** and P***hayman wrote:what's wrong with cornell and penn?cbreault wrote: I myself will attend UGA Law unless I can get into myself into T-14 (excluding Cornell and Penn).

The HOPE scholarship is for undergrad only. However, UGA Law has a Georgia Scholars program for students who went to UG in GA and did very well in UG.DIL3RIUM wrote:i was looking at various law schools in GA because i recently moved here and i have wanted to attend law school for qiute some time now and i have a few questions.

Re: University of Georgia School of Law
I'm in the same boat as you, but the whole being white and middle class thing will overshadow any kind of diversity you could think of besides being an olympic gold medalist, decorated war hero, etc. I am not going to bother writing a diversity statement to UGA since I am familiar enough with the kind of people there and I know I am not very different from the current student body.wwarren wrote:For anyone that knows, would you suggest writing the optional diversity essay if you are a... white, middle-class, christian male from GA. The only thing that would add diversity is the fact that I'm a first generation college (Undergrad, even) graduate. What d'ya think?

Re: University of Georgia School of Law
I'm not positive about Georgia, but for some other states it is matriculation, not application. I bet it's the same in Georgia.rfm05 wrote:Does anyone know if residency is established at the date of application, or the date or matriculation? I've lived in GA since May, and was wondering if that is long enough to establish residency.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
