I decided to do a little looking at the average cost of Law Schools tonight. I wanted to see what the average law student pays for their education. In my search, I actually came across the top 100 law schools of 2010 (according to the website http://www.top-law-schools.com/rankings.html).According to the site the top 10 law schools of 2010 are:
- Yale Law School
- Harvard Law School
- Stanford Law School
- Columbia Law School
- New York Law School
- UC Berkeley Law School
- University of Chicago Law School
- University of Pennsylvania Law School
- Michigan Law School
- Duke University Law School & Northwestern Law School (Tie)
Students looking to attend law school, on average will pay between $20K and $30K a year! Student loans are sky rocketing as well! On average, $80K is what the average student debt upon finishing. This cost is generally paid off quickly, due to the fact that most of these students will make over $100K a year starting. Right out of the gate! Not a bad deal huh? You've got to love the law.
