Go to the Harvard Law School Website for 2005-2006.You will see that Cornell($45K tuition) has 40 grads enrolled. Lets come up with a random list of 20 schools from the second 150 interchangeable schools, all of which have $40-45K tuition and fees-Boston College (3), Carleton(1), Colorado College (1), Claremont Mckenna(4). Colgate(1), Holy Cross (1), Knox (1) Haverford(2), Mount Holyoke(0), Johns Hopkins (4) ,Oberlin(2), Reed (2), Smith(1), Dickinson(0), Gettysburg(0), Denison (1), Fordham(0), Vassar(2), Brandeis(11), and Hillsdale (4). Are people really going to pay $45k tuition when they know their kids will not have the type of high paying careers that will offset the expense? I don't think so in today's world. They will do so for a true Ivy, but not for solid, good institutions that consign the 2010 or 2011 graduate to a life of debt.

Multiple Marshall winners for 2007 are from Princeton (4), West Point (3) and Georgetown (2).
