Guide to Law Schools

Book excerpt: This newly updated directory describes 190 ABA-approved law schools as well as a selection of non-ABA-approved schools. Each profile presents admission requirements, the latest tuition figures and related fees, career placement services offered to graduates, and much more. A multi-page table lists each law school’s median LSAT scores achieved by incoming students and summarizes each school’s admission requirements. A section focusing on general advice for prospective law school students discusses ways to choose the best law school to fit each individual’s needs and advises on how to get through the often-tough school admission process. The typical law school environment is also described with emphasis on its competitive atmosphere.
