Miami Law vs. Hofstra Law

<p>My daughter is trying to decide between Miami Law and Hofstra Law. Any advice on the programs or just in general?</p>

<p>Where does she want to practice?</p>

<p>Ditto. The answer to that question depends on whether she wants to practice in Miami or in NY. </p>

<p>As always... pick up the US News & World Reports, grad school edition. Flip to the back. There is an index of schools which has a compilation of statistics. You can find the percentage of '04 grads of those schools who practice in different regions of the country. My guess is that it is nearly impossible to go from Miami Law to practicing in NYC, or from Hofstra to practicing in any place outside of NY or CT. The (few) students that do work elsewhere probably have very strong geographic ties to the region and/or strong connections to help them land a job.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>
