Recently accepted with money.

Any current law students lurking? Really looking to get into the AL scene post law school graduation. AL is probably my top choice QOL-wise.

How many 1Ls this fall? (The number above and the website only say the number admitted and LSAT/GPA, curiously everything but the number enrolled).

I wasn't able to find that either. We'll find out soon since they have to release all of their numbers.

Received my acceptance packet last night. Good information about the law school and Tuscaloosa in there. Alabama admissions does a really good job.

Not sure what the pic is in the OP, but not the law school building.

I'm a 1L feel free to ask questions and I'll answer as much as I'm able.

We have around 140... a few have dropped since the beginning of the semester, but still right around there.

ETA: Congrats to everyone admitted so far! I've loved my experience so far.

Yeah, it's not the law building. It's Clark Hall. And it's the only pretty pic I could find on Google images. If you wanna take one of the law school, give me the link!
