[quote=Anonymous]Would you be planning to go part-time or full-time? What would the career path be for you when you got out? I'd be very sure you know what you're getting into in terms of finances, time commitments, time away from your family, etc. Also -- don't think that because you don't go to a tippy-top school, there's any less work or stress. Students at "ordinary" law schools around here bust their asses to get top grades because they know they will need to be at the top of their classes to land decent jobs. So the competition and workload can actually be worse than at a top name-brand school, where the really hard part is getting in, not getting out. Grades matter even more at decent but not top-shelf law schools -- a C average from GMU is not in the same category as a C average from Georgetown. In your shoes, I'd personally consider it only if I had a crystal-clear understanding of what the return on investment is likely to be. [/quote]
