Tempting but if you're leaning more toward environmental law might I suggest Vermont Law?

Unless you want to practice environmental law on the west coast, then it is all about Lewis and Clark.

LC LC LC!!! Law school right in my home town Except every single student there wants to either practice environmental law or animal law
I don't understand that school. A guy I saw on instagram got a 171 and ended up going there.. I wonder if he had a terrible GPA? Or is LC actually decent for certain things?

Terrible GPA, really likes Portland, wants to practice there and has connections there. Certainly odd, though.

May have gotten a full ride and just needed a JD to solidify employment.

Yikes! Lewis and Clark's under-employment score is greater than its big firm, federal clerkship and public interest scores combined.

they all want to do environmental law and animal. I wonder if that makes them less likely to want to take big law jobs?

Maybe, but I imagine that students from L&C don't have much access to big law jobs.

I've heard Penn is a must, do schools below your numbers usually need a Why X to avoid being YP'd?

I'm definitely doing UVA and Harvard. UVA because I love it and can write a strong, unique essay and Harvard due to compelling WE.

I'm doing them for Cornell, Northwestern, Michigan, Duke, Penn, UVA, and Berkeley. Everyone else knows why I would attend.

I don't think my numbers are high enough that any T-14s would YP me (the lower ones will probably know I'm aiming for $$). But, since they can't hurt, I'm writing them for everywhere I can actually see myself going!
