Summary: Our chart on law school ranking, tuition, and so forth.
The legal market is notoriously bad lately, and though there may be premonitions of relief and release from the strain of stagnancy, those willing to brave the legal waters nowadays best appraise their situation.
And that’s where we can help. This chart, helpfully posted at our website here, can offer you a handy metric on each law school’s ranking, as well as the percentage of students employed upon graduating – the key figure to consider – as well as how much tuition debt you can expect to be saddled with, acceptance rates, enrollment, and student faculty ratio.
We believe you necessarily should study charts like this – and carefully – before choosing which schools to apply to, and which one to attend. After all, choice in law school is crucial in predicting long term outcome from earning your JD.
At the top of the chart you will see all the familiar names you would expect, such as Yale at number one, where Yale always is, as well as Harvard at number two, and Stanford at number three.
If you aren’t Yale material, don’t despair, but do consider what the alternatives are. The chart will clue you in to where to go and what to expect.
