Top Law Schools

I've been accepted to UNM law, and I can't seem to find much on it in the archives. Anyone who is/was attending interested in sharing some thoughts?

From what I gather, the school itself has a reasonably good reputation as law schools go. Bar passage and employment rates are decent, and of course the in-state tuition is one of the lowest in the country. Seems UNM grads have a pretty tight lock on jobs in New Mexico.

not a student or alum but I wouldn't go unless you're from NM

I'm from New Mexico.

I know NM is now a UBE state and that there was some pushback from the legal community. However, this is a sign that the community is opening up. The nice thing for a UNM student is that you will take a bar that will allow you to apply to jobs in CO, ARIZONA, UTAH, and WYOMING, not to mention other mountain states further away. If you are from New Mexico and want to practice in this area, UNM is probably you're best bet.

Lord Randolph,

Yes, I'm looking at getting on the bar in Arizona (I have family business interests there).

My father (deceased) came to NM in the late 90s to work as an assistant DA in a small town. He graduated from Loyola New Orleans in the 70s, and had practiced in Arizona.

Although what little I have read says that UNM grads dominate the job market in New Mexico, from my understanding of my dad's work, outside ABQ and Santa Fe, this mostly rural state can't be picky when it comes to lawyers (although the salaries aren't great). If you are on the bar, and you will accept the salary, it seems like they will hire you.

I'm actually more interested in hearing about the experience of attending UNM law, but it seems that they aren't reading TLS :/
