Message Name: Here's my situation.
Date Posted: 10/07/2002
Message: I am happy at the law school that I am currently a 1L at. It is a top 50% of tier 1 school with great students and profs. I cannot complain about my experience here so far. However, my plan is to take my JD from the Midwest and work in DC, probably in government. Would I be doing myself a disservice if I transferred to a school like Georgetown or another top 14 school in the east coast megalopolis? It would be closer to DC (and home and my undergrad roots). Granted I would transferring to a better school, but is it worth it after settling down into a good 1L situation? I guess my only problem with my current situation is location. I am pretty far from the action that I am interested in. thanks in advance for any helpful comments. HTG
