I'm presently deciding between Penn and Michigan for law school next year.
I'm out of state, so tuition doesn't matter. Also, I am presently at Michigan for undergrad, so I have been looking
forward to discovering a new place next year; however, I am not so set on
moving somewhere new that I would forsake my school's reputation. In anyone's
experiences, which school have they found to have a better "name" in the legal world and for recruiting? Students at both schools seem to be happy, so now I am looking at things like job placement and reputation as distinguishing factors. (I am looking to work for a large/med firm in in NYC, DC, Chicago, or SF) Also, I am interested in international, business, and internet law . . . does anyone know which schools may have an advantage for these disciplines? |

I was faced with a similar choice during the law school applications/acceptance process. I decided on attending Michigan and am very pleased with my choice. In terms of national career placement, Michigan is decently balanced between the Coasts and the Mid-West, so in that sense it may have a slightly greater national presence. In terms of an alternate view of where the two schools fall in the proverbial pecking order, look at: http://www.utexas.edu/law/faculty/bleiter/LGOURMET.HTM
Michigan does have a top program in international law as well.
