jwizzle – California has nothing like the City University of NY/Queens, where law school is something like $13k/yr if you’re a resident of NYC? Quite a few respected attorneys have come through there.[/quote]
Not really. We have the UC system – Cal, UCLA, Irvine, Davis, and Hastings have law schools – but tuition is still $45k+ per year for CA residents (tuition has increased nearly 4-fold since I applied for law school in 2003!). It’s $10k-ish more for out of state residents. None of the Cal State schools have law schools. I actually know some attorneys who have come from CUNY, which would be a fantastic option in NY for someone looking to save money, assuming they lived in NY.
