<p>Um, people, we’re not talking about 18 year olds here. A kid who starts law school at 22 or 23 will be 25 or 26 during the 3L year. And if your 26 year old needs friendly folks in order to get a professional certification, I’d suggest looking for a discipline besides the law. Whether your kid wants Biglaw, US Attorney’s office, DA, politics, or to become a personal injury lawyer- someone who needs to be surrounded by supportive folk is likely to hate being a lawyer!</p>
<p>The reason most students choose based on objective factors is that where you attend law school is heavily predictive of what kind of job you will and can get at the end of law school. Nice and logical, no?</p>
