Decide what sort of career you want? “Big law” – that means an elite law school which requires excellent academics and big tuition money. Aiming for a middle class salaried job (e.g. civil service), a less fancy law school will do. Do you want to be a self-employed local lawyer in the frum community – then a fancy law school might even be a disadvantage? Are you able to toss a quarter of million into an education for a career?
Have you ever read literature about lawyers or seen movies about lawyers? What type appeals to you? You have a lot of homework before deciding.
