The sticker price on a law school website is fiction. Almost nobody pays it, and the people who do are quietly funding everybody who didn't.
Law school isn't priced on what it's worth. It's priced on what you can borrow and what your LSAT score does for a school's ranking. This is everything on the money side in 1 place: how merit aid actually works, how to read the 509 report before you apply, the conditional-scholarship trap that claws money back after you enroll, what law school really costs once you count the parts nobody adds up, what the job pays on the other side, and which schools to walk away from even with a full ride on the table.
A few LSAT points can be the difference between sticker price and a free ride, between 20 years of payments and starting your career debt-free. Treat the test like the highest-paid work you'll do all year, because it is.
