Yes look at the ranking of the law school. DO NOT select a school that is not accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA). Also, a higher-ranked school is often better. I would recommend not selecting a school that is ranked below the top 100; the higher the better.


When you're applying to schools, they will look at your GPA and your Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores. The higher-ranked the school, the better your GPA and LSAT score need to be.


Law school takes 3 years and is very expensive (hundreds of thousands of dollars - your loans could be from $100,000 to $275,000). It is also three whole years during which you're going to school and not working.


A good article to consider if you want to go to law school: http://www.vox.com/2015/6/5/8724555/should-i-go-to-law-school


If you apply to law schools, you should also consider how much scholarship money they are giving you. So basically a balance between the better ranked the school vs. how much scholarship money you can get.
