If you have already been through college, then you know
the drill. You have to pick a couple schools, apply, and
pray. Actually, there is a lot more to it than that, as you
could have guessed. I know this well, as I am currently at
this part of the process.
You need to take time to consider what school you want to go
to. It will not just affect the next three years, but the
rest of your life. Keep in mind that the majority of people
get a job in the area they went to school, so you might not
want to go to school with your cute next-door neighbor in
Iowa if you want to live in New York. Go visit the school,
talk to current students and decide if that school is the
one for you. Set your goals high, but always remember to
apply to a few safety schools, especially since the number
of applications for law school has gone up dramatically
during this time of economic recession. You will also need
to apply to LSDAS in order to ease the application process
for yourself as well as for the schools you are applying to.
As for surviving law school, I may not be an expert on that
yet, but my guess is you better like coffee.
Here you can see the top 100 law schools in the nation,
according to U.S. News. There are also links to the
school's Web sites and information on how they ranked the
schools.

Here is a little something to help the tired, cranky law
student. It's called “Legal Lexicon's Lyceum” and it is an
electronic law library. It has a law dictionary with
thousands of legal terms, phrases, and concepts. Plus, they
threw in a little humor for you.
