[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP that gave the decision tree - before anyone says i am elitist, i did note in my last point that going to a clear cut regional power does make sense.

[b]So if you want to practice in montana or utah or idaho it probably would be smarter to go for the local flagship law school.

that said, law jobs are getting decimated and in the future there will be even less of them.[/quote]

Yes, but OP isn't talking about going to law school in Montana, Utah, Idaho, or anywhere remotely similar.  Assuming it truly is, here is the list of top ten public universities:

#1    University of California—?Berkeley; Berkeley, CA
#2    University of California—?Los Angeles; Los Angeles, CA
#2	University of Virginia; Charlottesville, VA
#4	University of Michigan—?Ann Arbor; Ann Arbor, MI
#5	University of North Carolina—?Chapel Hill; Chapel Hill, NC
#6	College of William and Mary; Williamsburg, VA
#7	Georgia Institute of Technology; Atlanta, GA
#8	Pennsylvania State University—?University Park; University Park, PA
#9	University of California—?Davis; Davis, CA
#9	University of California—?San Diego; La Jolla, CA

UC-Berkeley and UVA are the only two that are also in the top 25, with Michigan and UNC-Chapel Hill not far behind in the top 30 (and the College of William and Mary not far behind those).  So, yes, if you're getting a free ride to Berkeley or UVA for law school, then it could be a good investment.  Otherwise, don't go.  If I had to guess, I'd guess Penn State.  [/quote]
