UC's Top Law Schools

<p>1) What is the estimated cost of attending UCLA School of Law or Berkeley's Boalt Hall?</p>

<p>2) Can graduating from either school get you a $85,000 to $100,000 salary job?</p>

<p>for the second question, yes (if your in the top 40 percent of your class, foresure). </p>

<p>those are two amazing law schools that i would seriously give my left foot to attend. i'm not kidding.</p>

<p>hope these help</p>

<p>25k a year approximately for in-state students. About 10k more a year for out of state.</p>

<p>It's quite a good deal to go to boalt because you will get residency after the first year. Boalt also grades using the Yale system so everyone basically gets a pass or high pass if you do your work (at least thats what I read in a rather old version of the vault guide to law firms).</p>

<p>UCLA would be similar.</p>

<p>Graduating near the middle of boalt will probably guarantee a solid 6 figure job (Much more if you go into patent law, which is what Boalt is known for).</p>

<p>UCLA is a little more dubious, but if you do well you should be more than fine.</p>
