Good Law Schools

If you’re sitting on a low or bad lsat score, you’re going need to make some big decisions.  For the sake of argument, let’s assume that you have already re-taken the LSAT and your score still isn’t up to par.  Let’s also make the assumption you put together the perfect law school application.  Finally, let’s make the assumption that you are really worried that you won’t get into any regular law school.  Just while typing this, I can feel your pain.

One quick tip is to diversify the list of schools that you are applying to-

1) Are you applying to a mix of Tier 1, 2, 3 and perhaps 4 law schools?
2) Are you considering a part-time program?

Many law schools have identical admissions criteria for both day and night students, while many more do not.  Some schools, in fact, are way less stringent with their admissions criteria for night students.  Thus, entering law school as a night student can make a lot of sense for some law school applicants.  The double benefit is obvious:  if you are married, have a family or need supplemental income…night school can be a great option anyway!  Ultimately, you will receive the same degree as your day school counterparts.

Two of my favorite night law school programs are: Suffolk Law and the University of San Diego.

Good luck with your career!
