The Ten Top 2010 Law Schools!

Law School

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:

  1. Yale Law School
  2. Harvard Law School
  3. Stanford Law School
  4. Columbia Law School
  5. New York Law School
  6. UC Berkeley Law School
  7. University of Chicago Law School
  8. University of Pennsylvania Law School
  9. Michigan Law School
  10. 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.
