Only go to law school if you are a type A over achiever and expect to graduate in the top 25% of your class based on your LSAT.

Do not go if you are in the middle or below unless you have the option of going to a cheap State U. Even then, only go if type A over achiever.

Plus, most firms aren’t inclined to hire older students. In their mind it shows a lack of focus.
