Okay, so I’ve read the FAQ, and I understand all the reasons I don’t want to go to law school, and I have a good understanding that ranking is everything, but I’m old and still feel the need to explore this thing. So, my question is this, if I plan to be dead long before my student loans are paid off, and I don’t want to be one of those lawyers who works at a high-power firm making tons of money, do I pick a school with the top rank for the type of law I want to practice or do I still need to go for the top overall rank? IE: Vermont is #1 for environmental law but 130th overall, Madison is #50 overall (and my first pick) but doesn’t have an environmental law specialization, would it be better to go to Vermont or Madison if, shocker, I get the opportunity to actually pick? Madison is my first pick because I live in WI, and I know people who work at the type of non-profit that I want to work at, but it’s really competitive and I’m not sure I will be able to beat out all the 20 somethings just finishing school with better GPA’s than mine. But, I have been told that 30 years of work experience will give me a bit of a boost when it comes to hiring.
