Law School Admissions Trend to Watch For: Lower Tuition
It was only a matter of time before a law school did it, and Arizona decided to be the trailblazer.
After years of falling application numbers, a law school finally cut its tuition.
Many law schools have frozen increases, and other have upped their scholarship offers, but no one has taken the step of lowering tuition — all in the face of far-above-inflation tuition raises over the past decade coupled with a decline in law school applicants.
At the University of Arizona, tuition will drop 11% in-state and 8% non-residents, bringing the tuition to $24,381 and $38,841, respectively. Completely reasonable.

What Spring Break Means for Students in Law School
If you’re a (somewhat) newly minted law student, you’ve no doubt been looking eagerly ahead to Spring Break as a time to catch a much-needed breather.
Good luck with that.
While you won’t be burdened with as much reading and the necessity of visiting a classroom on a daily basis, law school will still follow you around — even on Spring Break.
At some law schools (my alma mater included), Spring Break is when you’ll be auditioning (read: doing research and a ton of writing) for law review. If you’re particularly ambitious, this is a path you may want to consider. I didn’t do it myself, but my colleagues assured me that both the write-on process and being on law review were entirely rewarding experiences.

3 Keys to an Effective Law School Letter of Continued Interest
It’s a magical time of year in law school admissions. Acceptance letters (and, sadly, rejection letters) are rolling in. Seat deposit deadlines loom. And soon-to-be law students are looking for apartments for the upcoming school year (because dorms are for undergrads).
And you’re still waiting to hear if you can get in off of the waitlist of your top choice.
You’re in good company. Very few people will run the table with acceptances (or rejections). And a waitlist means that you applied intelligently — you hit a law school that might be interested in you, but you’re on the cusp. You weren’t overqualified, yet you weren’t underqualified, either. You threaded the needle. Good for you.

The ABA Zeroes in on Law School Employment Data
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but law schools have been shamelessly inflating their employment statistics for years. Shocking, I know.
After cracking down on the way schools report their LSAT scores (a scandal or two helped push in that direction, *cough* Villanova and Illinois *cough*), the ABA has now turned its attention to law school employment data. In fact, the ABA is currently soliciting proposals, so feel free to throw your hat in the ring.
This is going to be a much more difficult program than the one designed to ensure correct LSAT info. For admissions data, the LSAC acts as a central repository for all law school application data. Anyone who has an LSAT score took the test through LSAC.
