Choosing a Law School

  • Law Schools A-Z. A very convenient list of links to law school home pages. From Findlaw.com (which is another site you should visit!).
  • Searchable Database of Law Schools. A useful search engine for law schools. Find schools by GPA / LSAT data, geographical location, keywords, etc. This is the online version of the LSAC's "Official Guide" to law schools.
  • US News and World Report Rankings. Unfortunately, US News and World Report only puts some of its rankings online for free; you have to pay for the rest. But no matter -- you shouldn't pay much attention to those rankings anyway. Trust us.
  • The Ranking Game. Create your own rankings! Designed to show that law school rankings change dramatically based on how you weight the input factors, this little web-based program lets YOU choose how to weight the usual factors and calculates the rankings for you. It can be a bit hard to master at first, but once you figure it out you can entertain yourself with this thing for hours (especially if you have a paper due the next day).
  • How to Choose a Law School. Advice from Yahoo!. What does Yahoo! know about law school? Not much, so they got the Princeton Review to write some stuff for them. But it's worth reading anyway.
  • The Boston Law School Forum. Every year, the LSAC organizes a gigantic law school forum in several cities around the country. The Boston forum is happening on Saturday, September 10, 2005. Click on this link for more information about the LSAC law school forums.
  • The Real Top Ten Law Schools. A different perspective.

Obtaining Applications

  • The LSDAS Electronic Application. The official online application service. Click here for more information about obtaining your application materials.
  • Law Schools A-Z. Most schools will let you download applications (or at least order them for delivery by regular mail) on their web pages. Follow this link for a list of links to law school home pages.

The LSAT

  • www.lsac.org. If you have any questions about the LSAT, follow this link to the source of all things LSAT: the "Law School Admissions Council," or LSAC. These are the people who inflict the LSAT on students each year, and their web page is absolutely stuffed with information about it -- test dates, registration deadlines, links to online registration, you name it. Follow this link and look for the menu of options on the left side of the page. Want to read our advice about the LSAT? Click here.
  • LSAT FAQ. From the LSAC. The questions focus on details -- can I cancel my score, how many times can I take the test, etc.
  • Kaplan, Princeton Review, TestMasters. Their pricing and services all vary somewhat, so study your options carefully. And these three aren't the only ones out there - there are many more! Try a Google search if you're curious.
  • Advice for Test Day. Some good advice for the day of the big test.

The LSDAS

  • www.lsac.org. Once again, the best plan is to go right to the source on this one. The LSAC operates the LSDAS (apparently in the blindspot of the antitrust authorities). You can get all the LSDAS information you need on their site, plus register online. Look for the LSDAS menu on the left side of the page. Click here for a few pointers about the LSDAS.
  • LSDAS FAQ. From the LSAC. Highly detail-oriented questions and answers.

The Personal Statement

  • Ten Do's and Don'ts. Some sound advice from accepted.com, a company whose services you almost certainly don't need! For more information on the personal statement, click here.

Random

  • Lawyer Jokes. What's the problem with lawyer jokes? Only lawyers think they're funny, and no one else thinks they're jokes....
  • OCS Pre-Law Advising. It's not Mooselaw, sure, but it's still a pretty useful site! They've revised it recently to make it more accessible, too.
