None of the schools that you listed are like Regent or Liberty, so politically, I think you could expect a lot of diversity. The only school I can speak to is George Mason, because I recently visited there. The faculty is conservative, but I didn't get the sense that most of the student body was any more conservative or liberal than students at any other law school. Frankly, people go there for three main reasons: 1. it's the highest ranked school they got into, 2. it's near tons of great employment opportunities, or 3. in-state VA tuition.

If you're in at Emory, it makes sense to go there. I've only been to Atlanta a few times and to Emory's campus (as an undergrad) once. I got the sense that it is very diverse. And Atlanta is a great city. But most importantly, Emory is the highest ranked of all the schools you listed.

Just so you know, Maryland consistently ranks in the top 5 of most diverse law schools. It is a particular emphasis of their admissions department.

is it also a priority to have classes in the ghetto?

Emory, without a doubt. It is far superior academically to the other schools mentioned, offers the best career options, and is located in a city that has a very vibrant African-American population.

I'm not sure about whether or not GMU is politically conservative or not, but I had to attend there last semester (I attenda  New Orleans school) and so couldn't go Fall 05.  George Mason is an incredibly diverse campus however.  Ethnically and Racially there is just about any and every group of students on campus you can look for.  Its also a very tolerant school in that area, from what I've heard about Emory its very similar to Tulane where I attend and its not a particularly diverse or integrated student body.  Richmond I have no idea about but I'm might attend so I'm going to visit next weekend.  Richmond itself is a much more conservative city than DC.  DC at least the younger crowd tends to be pretty liberal.  Employment opportunities in DC are also going to be better, especially then Baltimore (UMD).

If you were white, I'd say Emory would probably be the best best.  Since you're black, I say Emory without any question whatsoever.

And trust me, you can go ahead and scratch Richmond completely.
