I believe the OP’s student is an incoming freshman (see previous thread) so a lot can happen before applying to law school, if that ever happens. That said, whenever grad school is a strong possibility it is wise to consider the financial implications as early as possible, preferably as part of the undergrad application process and budget plan.
@burghdad has shared his D’s law school merit search in many posts, but here is his thread sharing their experience. While this may not ultimately be the OP kid’s journey, it may provide food for thought.
ETA: I did not intend to reply directly to blossom.
