[quote=Anonymous]Early Retired Biglaw partner here.  A couple of points.

1.  Other posters are correct - there’s really no such thing as “need based” financial aid for law school.  Many law schools offer merit based scholarships, but they are not based on financial need.  If your daughter decides to go to law school and does not get offered sufficient merit scholarships to cover the cost, she will have to take out loans. That’s how it works.

2.  I would never advise anyone who loves to learn for learning’s sake to go to law school. It is a grind. It requires an entirely different set of skills to master the content and expectations.  It is in no way, shape, or form similar to the academic environment of either undergraduate school or a Master’s/PhD program. I would only advise a student to go to law school if they are truly interested in being a lawyer or working in a closely related field, can attend a top 30 school at a minimum. and they can do it without having to incur serious debt.
