Pros: Intellectual Property program.
Cons: It's a law school
Summary: Lets see I think the first thing every review about a law school should state, that this is a law school you are reviewing. Law Schools have miserable reputations for a reason. With this said, I will try to elaborate on all of the good and bad points ... read more

Pros: Large night program, excellent clinical program
Cons: regional reputation, small suburban campus
Summary: When I saw that there were no opinions about AU's law program I had to write one. I have been very happy with the legal education I received there.
I chose AU because I was living in the DC area and wanted to go to school at night. Law ... read more

Pros: Faculty
Cons: Lack of visibility outside the Midwest
Summary: I attended CWRU School of Law and found it to be a positive experience in just about every regard.
Most of the faculty are highly regarded in their respective fields, and out of a total of about 28 courses I took during my three years there, ... read more

Pros: Big School
Cons: Not Friendly environment
Summary: I am here to tell you that if you want to go to Harvard Law School it is going tom be a choice made on either one of three things.
1)It's Harvard Law School (read this as prestige/the money you'll make upon graduation.
2)It's ... read more

Pros: Learn to think like a lawyer
Cons: Stressful
Summary: I took the LSAT a few years ago. I took a Kaplan class to prepare for the exam, and I should have taken the class more seriously. The class had homework for us to do every week, it was a course that was structured and made you go through the motions of ... read more

Pros: It is not the only factor of getting in
Cons: It scares the S___ out of you
Summary: I am sure that if you found this review you know all about the LSAT and what it entails. Yes the LSAT is in fact worse and more stressful than what you expect, and the sooner you accept that the more relaxed you will be on test day. The number one ... read more

Pros: Best experience of one's life
Cons: Hard-pressed to find any
Summary: The three-to-one, girl-to-guy ratio, was definitely in my favor being a heterosexual male. But that's only a miniscule part of the grand reason I undertook the challenge of studying abroad during one semester of my time at college.
The other ... read more

Pros: Are you kidding?
Cons: CSO too "professional" to help
Summary: UT Law's Career Services Office (CSO) is completely inept. The employees there pride themselves on getting the top quarter of the graduating class jobs at large law firms. In light of the fact that UT is one of the highest-ranked law schools in the ... read more

Pros: the finanacial aid package
Cons: all the things I mentioned above that are not good
Summary: I would not have my law degree were it not for the fantastic financial aid package Syracuse Law offered me. It was all in the form of loans, but hey! If I hadn't had the loans, I would not have been able to go to law school anywhere. And NOT all law ... read more

Pros: Professors
Cons: Parking
Summary: OK, bring on the pain may sound harsh, but it really pertains to law school in general. Hofstra does its best to ease this pain. After finishing my first semester there, I must say if you like law, you will love what Hofstra has to offer (Sorry to ... read more

Pros: Small class size; easy access to professors; good learning environment
Cons: As with any private school - and most any law school - tuition is not cheap.
Summary: You do not have to attend a large school to get a great education. Mercer is a relatively small law school in Macon, GA.
Only about 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta and a days drive from Florida and New Orleans, Macon has a lot to offer. Macon, ... read more

Pros: Location
Cons: Academic real estate is questionable
Summary: If the old insurance maxim, "location, location, location," is the deciding factor in real estate, then Fairleigh Dickinson University has a prime location. The Madison campus is located in the well-landscaped suburbs of historical Morristown ... read more

Pros: great education, low cost, fun town, get a job
Cons: fun occurs mainly off campus
Summary: The University of Nebraska College of Law ("UNCL") has a lot going for it: wonderful professors, a personalized academic setting, an unparalleled alumni network, and very low costs. Not all is perfect at UNCL, but it's good enough that I would ... read more

Pros: Quality of education; location
Cons: Placement and reputation
Summary: Like the other reviewer, I chose Cardozo as a result of not having a lot of other viable options and out of a desire to study in New York City. I came to law school after having a 6 year career in a non-legal field and was not very up to date on popular ... read more

Pros: Close to state capital; evening division program; quality faculty
Cons: Poor recruiting standards
Summary: This institution of higher learning has the absolute worst reputation of all of the law schools in the state of Pennsylvania. This is the school that other schools make fun of... have old jokes about... In short, it's the redheaded stepchild of PA law ... read more

Pros: price + quality of education = excellent value
Cons: difficult to gain admission & cramped facilities until new building is completed
Summary: Located just north of downtown Seattle, the University of Washington School of Law is, in my opinion, the best choice for a serious student who wants to study law in the Pacific Northwest area. The law school has well-known and oft-cited scholars in the ... read more
