[blindlaw] Choosing a School

[Nightingale, Noel]

My experience in serving on a law firm's hiring committee that the most qualities valued were the prestige of the candidate's law school, his or her law school grades, and the candidate's personality or potential good fit.

Good afternoon,

Do you have any tips on selecting a law school? I have excellent offers to several, and two of them have particularly great reputations in my state, but one is fairly highly ranked, but would require relocating and leaving a city I love. The other is ranked right in the middle of the pack, but is extremely highly ranked in some key areas of study, and would mean staying in a place I already know I enjoy and have several preexisting friendships. What do you folks think? How do you choose between two great options? In your experience, do school rankings matter as much as the internet would have you beleive? 

Warmth,
Sanho
