Lewis and Clark is a good school. Go there!

I urge you to visit Florida Coastal before making your decision. US News has a report out about the salaries upon graduating from law school- check it out. Howard is a great prospect. Another good book to read is Law School Confidential. Well, good luck! By the way, are you a yardie?

I would take the Lewis & Clark feeder program over New York Law School, I don't know anything about the other schools you applied to. Don't go to New York Law School! The alums I've met from there were not happy with the quality of their education.

My best friend lives near Marquette. You'll like the area. There are tons of bars and a decent amount of young people. Plus Chicago is only 90 minutes away!
