[ender]

What do you all think is the best school of law out there? I am considering

Berekley @ university of CA

University of Colorado @ boulder point

USC

UCLA

I'm willing to consider others but i dont really want to do ivy leauge....what do you guys think?

P.S. i plan to get a degree and run for mayor then run for governor or state rep...maybe both, then run for president...we will see how it works out but just as the archer shoots slightly above his mark so i set my goals.....though maybe for world dictator muahahaha

Well I'd say the best are ivy league but if you don't want to do that (and I understand why) then your list is pretty good. You might also try University of Texas at Austin's Law School. It's supposed to be. Of course you can always go to US News and World Report and find their college reporting.

Just out of curiousity, why wouldn't you want to attend an Ivy League if you are eligible to?

How about West Point? You wanna become the President? I'm sure being a Black Knight will get you closer to your goal than being a Trojan will.

I have thought about Yale, But while ivy leauge schools are prestigious they are not always the best. I have heard that you will probably not be taught by a proffesor who will be teaching only the most advanced students, rather you will be taught by a student teacher or advanced student. Besides I would like to go to a place where i would stand out.
