Selecting Law Schools

Choosing a law school involves a number of considerations, such as cost, bar passage rates and employment outcomes. It will not be easy. And no single set of criteria may be applied comfortably across the board by every prospective law student. Anyone contemplating going to law school should engage in a thorough due diligence process. There are a variety of resources to assist you in your research. The links below might be helpful in that process:
