It’s much harder to get into even the lowest ranked graduate program then it is to the lowest ranked law schools. I would choose based on marketability; there’s not that much outside of practicing law that nonlaw employers will take a law graduate seriously for. Just a reality check, but the vast majority of lawyers have no chance to practice international law, or most of the other vague notions that people come to law school with.
