What better place for this question than the Teh Politics forum, a forum filled with a bevy of info on jurisprudence and adjudication!

I know that some you guys are lawyers in the wings, and was interested in some info about the schools you are attending. This could be a handy reference thread for people in the future as well.

Grazie!

 

Santa Clara University is aight.

 

I've heard University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law is top notch. It's not cheap though...

Dave may be able to help in this thread...

 

dub2w, interested in going?

I'm at U. Texas Law right now. Larger than average in terms of class size, smaller than average price.

Salty's right, McGeorge is a good program in Sacramento. Can't go wrong with Davis either.

Just like any other graduate program, where you really want to go should depend on what you really want to do.

 

Cool man... appreciate the input. I am looking into trial advocacy programs as well as child law.

Depending on my LSAT scores, Im hoping to get into a good program that will offer some decent grants.

Hey, is UT in Austin? Also, how engagin are the classes?

 

Yeah, it's right there in Austin, and the classes are....don't ask. I shouldn't even be posting on i-club!

Actually though, it's manageable, just hard. Works out to about a 16 hour day.

Family law varies quite a bit state to state, so you want to pick a school in the area where you want to live for that one.

A really helpful website is www.top-law-schools.com

Has lots of info on specific schools, applications, and other things you want to know if you're interested.
