Reply To: Getting a BTL and Going to Law School?

Scaif09: To get into Harvard Law School (or any of the top law schools) with no more than a BTL and good LSAT is probably hopeless. If you really want to be a lawyer, and realize that it doesn’t involve getting big bucks in Manhattan, but probably grubbing for a living in the outer boros or the suburbs, a respectable LSAT, a BTL and $150K (assume you can commute from home and don’t have a family to support) can get you into the legal profession. After that, what you make of it is a function of your own industry and competence.
