3. The Primary Factors Involved in
Choosing a Law School
When deciding where to attend law school,
prospective students need to examine the
programs and publications offered by the
school. Opportunities like externships and law
review work can provide individuals with a
honed skill set that will help them in the job
market after graduation.

4. The Primary Factors Involved in
Choosing a Law School
Beyond the opportunities at the school,
individuals should also think about physical
location. While students at top-tier schools will
have more flexibility after graduation, people
attending smaller schools should study in the
state where they hope to find employment.
Firms and agencies often recruit from the
schools closest to them. In addition, schools
generally partner with local organizations that
can benefit students while in school and after.

5. The Primary Factors Involved in
Choosing a Law School
Students should also consider what type of law
a school specializes in, especially if they know
what kind of law they want to practice. Those
interested in environmental law will likely
choose different schools than people who wish
to go into corporate law.
