Settling on a Law School

Last night Emily and I made a trip to Salt Lake City where the University of Arizona hosted a small reception for admitted students. We met in the main conference room of Snell and Wilmer which had a beautiful view of the capitol building and of Temple Square. Present were several members of the admissions board, a handful of Arizona alumni who work in Utah and about 10 admitted students and their guests.

The visited proved to be very informative. Several of the alumni recommended a few clinics the school offers, such as the domestic violence clinic and the immigration/human rights law clinic. Emily found it encouraging that everyone we spoke to mentioned how much they grew to love Tucson, even after their first impressions almost scared them away!

Next weekend I'll be making the journey to Washington and Lee in Lexington, VA, to see what they have to offer. Hope all goes well!

I'll leave you with an interesting map I came across today. It is amazing how this map seems to correlate with other cleavages in the country, like education and wealth.
