There are a lot of us news lower ranked law schools that have good placement rates on this list.  West Va, LSU, South Tex, Ark, Campbell, etc

Did you see this one? According to Dan Filler on the Faculty Lounge South Texas ranks 23rd on the Class of 2012 ABA Employment Report (JD Required, FT, LT Minus Law School Funded). Yes, you read that right-23rd. This puts it above most us news first tier law schools. See http://www.thefacultylounge.org/2013/04/a-cleaner-ranking-of-schools-long-term-full-time-employment-minus-law-school-funded-jobs.html#more Somebody is doing something right.

According to Dan Filler on the Faculty Lounge IU ranks 101st on the Class of 2012 ABA Employment Report (JD Required, FT, LT Minus Law School Funded). This puts it below Wayne State, Texas Southern, Ohio Northern, North Dakota.  See http://www.thefacultylounge.org/2013/04/a-cleaner-ranking-of-schools-long-term-full-time-employment-minus-law-school-funded-jobs.html#more Other surprises on the list are Washington & Lee and Conn.

Probably not a good idea. However check the school's placement rate on Law School Transparency. A few low rated law schools do have good job placement rates.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: NYLS or Retake??

De finitely retake. NYLS does not have good job placement. Take an LSAT review course.

It's very risky going to a new law school.

Hofstra U School of Law / Hofstra falls 113th in US News
« on: May 12, 2013, 05:25:35 PM »
Hofstra has fallen from 89th to 113th in the 2014 US News & World Report Law School Rankings. Don't be surprised if Hofstra falls further next year as existing students transfer and potential applicants go elsewhere.
