The answer is always, always, graduate from the best possible law school you can. We may have less debt, but the job prospects are limited.

YES @ bolded.
Especially now, with lots of people who have already graduated with law degrees from good schools with no opportunities in the field of law. No joke. I am not a lawyer, but about 90% of my friends in the area are, and we talk about things like this regularly.
