To respond to your original question, rent “Paper Chase.” It’s an old movie, but will still give you an idea about many law schools.

There is also a DVD about the law school experience. I don’t remember where I found it for my kid (probably Amazon…that’s where I find everything!), but you can probably find it by searching on-line. This DVD contains numerous chapters about the law school experience, with numerous interviews of actual law students expressing their opinions (on topics such as competition, the Socratic method, speaking up in class, briefing cases, the amount of time needed to study, etc.).
