Default Re: Help me choose a law school...

* I've been a lawyer for 7 years at Big Law. I don't know a single co-worker who has paid off their law school debt. Not that it is impossible, but not likely.

* Big Law currently pays $135k to $145k for first year associates (NY, California, and TX. Chicago too, possibly).

* You want to be warm, your choices are the CA law schools (UCLA, Boalt, and Stanford).

* If you want a NY law job, you'd be better off going to an East Coast law school.
