Prepare for the LSAT with Hey Future Lawyer: https://heyfuturelawyer.com/startCompare law school outcomes: https://heyfuturelawyer.com/outcomesIs law school worth the cost—and which legal career would make that investment make sense?Ben Parker opens this special episode of The LSAT Simplified with two factual corrections, then features two conversations with Autumn Lockett from Winning Law School Admissions.Ben and Autumn first map the major paths available to law graduates: BigLaw, public interest, government, judicial clerkships, midsize and small firms, and JD-advantage roles. They explain how pay, workload, grades, school choice, geography, and hiring cycles affect access to each path—and why applicants should connect the school they choose to the work they may actually want.They then break the price of law school into financial cost and opportunity cost. Tuition is only part of the calculation. Fees, living expenses, lost earnings, debt, 1L performance, and the value of stronger admissions offers all matter. Sticker price may be only an opening offer, while a stronger LSAT and a broader school list can materially change what a JD costs.You will learn how to compare career paths, evaluate offers beyond rankings and campus appeal, and decide when law school is worth the investment for you.Continue with Winning Law School Admissions: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/winning-law-school-admissions/id6798837661 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0342EXzCVnaRNLV02nYBs5

One law school in San Diego charges $99,000 a year and sends 3.4% of its class to Big Law. 40% of students there pay full price. Here is the math on what happens to them, why the GradPLUS changes are about to end schools like it, and why UT Austin is the opposite bet.→ CalWestern: $65K tuition plus $34K living costs, 3.4% Big Law, graduates owing roughly $350K on a $70K salary → GradPLUS loans are gone and the real fallout has not landed yet. December enrollment numbers will show which schools cannot fill a class. → UT Austin: 172 median LSAT, 40% Big Law, 15% federal clerkships, and 10% of the class gets a full ride plus a $10K check to attendFREE LSAT CLASS, EVERY WEDNESDAY https://heyfuturelawyer.com/free-classEVERYTHING ELSE (COURSE, EXPLANATIONS, PLANS) https://heyfuturelawyer.comEMPLOYMENT AND SCHOLARSHIP DATA FOR EVERY LAW SCHOOL https://heyfuturelawyer.com/outcomesSEND A MAILBAG QUESTION [email protected]
