Your Debt-Free JD is a guide on how to strategically apply for and get through law school without incurring student loan debt. Most potential law students base their law school selection on only one factor: perceived prestige. This means, basically, that most law students just go to the school they get into with the highest U.S. News rank. Your Debt-Free JD argues that law school rankings and claimed prestige have little to do with the quality of the legal education actually provided, and that school rankings and prestige have even less to do with real-world outcomes for most law students and new lawyers (career outcomes ultimately have a lot more to do with you than with what school you go to). Law students who understand how to play the U.S. News rankings to their advantage can finagle their way into tens, and probably hundreds, of thousands of dollars in scholarship money while giving up virtually nothing in terms of educational quality or career outcomes.The biggest part of getting your JD without getting buried in debt is properly understanding what is important about the U.S. News rankings – how you can use them to your financial advantage, at the expense of the prestige-obsessed. Your Debt-Free JD explains this concept thoroughly. But the last two sections of the book are dedicated to what you can do while you’re actually in law school to ensure you remain on the right track and at least relatively debt-free. This book will contain useful material for current law students as well as prospective ones.
