wisconsin-madison
如果有条件，读JD是上策
是jd
very very likely to go to Wisconsin but still wondering about VISA
i have been in toronto (which is even colder) for 7 years...
it is ok to go to some limited-warmer place, ha
hold on, hold on, who says UWM has no hope for Big law???
For the record, there are many big laws in Milwaukee. Do you know it is the world capital of industry equipment? that is 5% of the total GDP in US.
i m ok with medium pays...i am tired of 2100 hours of working now...
i need to find a gf and settle down, i am too old

according to nalp directory, firms attended @ IOWA - 170, firms attended @ Wisconsin - 144
difference 26 firms.
was that such a big difference?
I am not here to debate which law school is better. Honestly, I will go neither one of them if I had to pay my own money.
But in terms of market, both schools are relying on out of town legal market which is a killer for foreign students. Next time, please try applying big city law schools if you want to apply schools out of T-20
I have already turned down IOWA.
It is too expensive... i cannot afford that.
Sorry, I have also turned down Boston College and Boston University. I thought they could give me some financial assistance, but they didn't.
So I have to pick up cheaper ones.
but it is ok 
Thanks for all u guys' comments.
Here is some link you can do some research on Job Stats for your dream school :

The University of IOWA ranks 21 , Does this matter much if it's ranking out of T-20?
Yeah, I would agree. Boston is one of the major legal markets. It will provide more opportunities for foreign students.
also, being in the blue states will help people who are not White.
haha, now it is between UT and Wisconsin 
but it depends on VISA

BU, BC are so expensive... 3 years * 65000 tuition fees + high living costs in Boston.
I better find a rich lady to marry
Meanwhile, I don't want to discourage people who applied to BC/BU. They are decent schools, I just don't have that much $.
After working for several years, I understand sometimes school factor is not the only factor in determining the career. Others do as well.

I compared all the income coming out of law school in US News law school guide. BU,BC has pretty decent income. Some school, you might pay less to go, but it takes you longer to pay off the debt because of salary and job. For me, I am going to borrow money anyway, it will be a huge hole anyway. I don't care deep or shallow as long as I can pay off.
I think law school is difference in terms of school factor. You can find a job coming out of any medical school. But law school, is a different story. Ph.D, might not be that critical to go to a good school too. I do think law or business school you need to get a good start. Since borrowing more or less, we are going to borrow money. We might as well do a very good investmen.
I am living in Boston. I like Boston even living expense is high.

你同时defer了三家?
Hi Xiong Di,

Oh, I think maybe Canada is a better choice, there are so many chinese immigrants in Canada whether legal or ilegal . You may find a decent job.
The Univestity of Toronto is the top law school in Canada,
just as an old chinese saying, Rahter be chicken's head not be Phenix' tail.
If you don't wanna change location, just stay in Canada.

Sigh..in reality, it is not true.
Chinese people here generally are poor and mean.
Canadian society is basically corrupted by these Chinese new immigrants and thus no salvage value in the so-called "chinese" market.
When looking for job, never find a chinese employer.

you don't need to find a chinese employer, but you can deal with those sino-orinet lawsuits .
Those Corrupted chinese usually have some money they don't dersered, just try to earn some money from them.
sorry, i think the bananas are those people who really enjoy staying in canada without any jobs and wasting their time just to claim some government benefits
taking this to personal level does not make one any good lawyer and actually shows off ones's childishness.
take care
Sorry, it is not u who makes the order on what word I should or i should not use.
And it is not ur job to judge people on "cheap" or "expensive".
I am surely cheap but you are not expensive either.
"Corrupted" is, i think, an eulogy to describe most of the chinese people living here. Can I use "decayed" or "immoral"?
Guess you are not living in Canada but if you have chance, please come and take a look.
Blindly shielding a group of people from their moral responsibilities does not help them to improve their standard.
没有调查，就没有发言权。
Take care
Sorry, It's not my responsibility to the current image of china, and there is nothing I can do to fix it.
yes, I would rather talk about chinese with those glory words, But don't you think it 's a bit Ah-Q?
Face the music,We are still in our primitive state, that's a state must overcome.
Generally, It's not a good strategy just to prend those problems don't exist.
But, I don't wanna blame most of them. it's a jungle out there. How could I suppose to survive without those skills?
这个坛子也开始吵了， 我不知道是不是好事。
有人跟我说， 中国人的坛子， 没人吵架说明你不旺， 我只好THINK POSITIVE了。
我觉得辩论可以，不要上升到人身攻击就可以了
是啊，USNews上面，Iowa的法学院排名远在Wisconsin的前面啊？！
我投Iowa一票，纯粹从法学院的角度出发，如果综合排名考虑（国内的那个综合排名），Wisconsin倒是在很靠前的位置。

我为自己是个中国人而骄傲,在美国这种感觉更加强烈,法学院学习好的中国人很多,你可以说我盲目自豪,但是中国人在国外更要维护自己的祖国.连自己人都互相看不起,谁会看的起你.
谢谢大家
我还没觉得中国人在加拿大能让我有多自豪的。
多数人在好吃懒做，骗吃骗喝，坑蒙拐骗。
不知道LS为什么要为这些人自豪。
LS教育的是，以后我一定端正态度，努力学习3个代表，不给大家丢脸
至于谁看得起看不起的问题。。。
我就不知道了
BY THE WAY, IOWA已经被我拒绝了，实在听说那里生活很一般，而且很保守。
至于毕业以后，WISCONSIN的一样可以去illinois,呆wisconsin也可以，反正我对钱这个概念很淡薄了。
100万和1000万反正我都花不完
读书只是我的兴趣而已。想了解美国的法律。
作个律师帮帮穷人和有困难的人。
sigh,看了那激愤的HLS09的同学的 帖子，觉得。。。
人各有志!

突然看到高山那贪污犯潜逃加拿大的消息, 也许楼上的说的也有道理吧.
my first year torts professor came from UWis. This is what she said: In UWis, students have to compete very cruelly because their jobs are not as guaranteed as students in top 14, therefore she has to grade very carefully to make sure there is a perfect curve.
Same would be true for UIowa.
楼主是理工科/Patent Bar Eligible 吗?
如果是, 并且愿意做IP, JD的学校不重要. 从没听说可以做IP的中国人JD找工作困难的.

如果你打算从事专利，你可以现在就考。不过你得是H1, green card holder或公民. 我以前看过，F1学生好像不能考，详情请读上述规则。
还没决定
决定申请一个美国签证，到时候再说。
