Is Law School Right for You?
Excerpt:
"The siren song of law school
No one denies that the notion of going to law school
is sexy, even after L.A. Law's cancellation. It's
a move that suggests direction, smarts, and at least
on one level, a commitment to high-minded ideals such
as justice and public service. Just look at law school
admissions brochures - you've never seen so many happy
faces, so many fascinating-sounding programs, study
abroad opportunities, and fabulously successful alums.

Back to School?
Excerpt:
"Proof abounds that the more education a person
has, the higher her salary is likely to be. With this
information in hand, why not head back to school at
a time when jobs are few, salaries are dropping, and
it's not looking like things will improve drastically
in the immediate future? There are pros and cons to
this decision, as there are with pretty much any decision,
so it's worth taking some time to decide what makes
the most sense for you and your goals."

Advice for Women on Choosing a Law
School
Excerpt:
" If you're applying to law school, whether you're
a man or a woman (but especially if you're a woman),
there are some simple things that you should do before
you decide where to go to learn the law. The first
is to read both "Becoming Gentlemen: Women's
Experiences at One Ivy League Law School," (University
of Pennsylvania Law Review, November 1994) by Lani
Guinier and "The Legal Education of Twenty Women,"
(Stanford Law Review, May 1988), by Catherine Weiss
and Louise Melling."

Where my girls at?
Excerpt:
" Women are finally catching up to men in law
school enrollment
In a field that has long been dominated by males,
women are on their way to becoming the majority of
first year law students. According to the American
Bar Association, 43,518 students entered law school
in the fall of 2000. Of these students, 21,499, or
49%, were women. Not only are these numbers going
to affect law schools around the country, but the
rise in female lawyers is also expected to help change
the low percentages of female judges and partners
in top law firms."

Advice to Incoming Minority Students
Excerpt:
" As recent Supreme Court decisions and public
policy initiatives indicate a shift to a more gender-neutral,
colorblind educational system, minority law students
are left to use all available resources to ensure
a diverse experience. The decision to attend a certain
law school is fraught with various concerns, most
of which are common to all prospective students. However,
for minority students, the decision to attend a particular
law school is sufficiently different for both academic
and professional reasons, that a separate discussion
is beneficial. "
