This. They aren't exactly giving away scholarships to law school like that.

Good for her OP. Seriously depending on the job as mentioned she should be considering a better school if possible. Law is one of the professions where being at the best school possible can have a monumental outcome if you are a top student.

But if she just wants to practice family law, as said she should just go to school where she wants to live.

Graduating school close to where you want to live (hard for a 18-24 year old) to actually know but if they do is very underated.

I would not go to LSU. Many end up working in the state where they went to school. This state has too many problems.

100%. If you want to do big law in NYC, by far your best chance to break into that world is going to a T14 school. It's not impossible if you aren't at one of those schools, but you'll have to network really hard to break in.

Alternatively, if she wants to work at a smaller, more local firm, she needs to think about where she wants to live. For example, if she likes the SC area she should go to SC over Tennessee or LSU. Being in SC, they will value a SC law degree over basically anything else.
