A friend of mine and my personal rav is someone who worked on semicha (with some of the leading geniuses of our generation, I might add) while attending Rutgers Law School, and he says that Rutgers was most responsive to his needs. Rutgers is not a top law school, however. I know that many schools even offer courses in Mishpat Ivri (Adiel Schremer teaches at Harvard; Rabbi Saul Berman, whom I’ve had the pleasure of davening with at Ramath Orah, teaches at Columbia; Rabbi Neil Danzig, at BU; Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein at Loyola in LA, etc.)
I’d imagine that top law schools would be most receptive to your needs, as the legal community is obviously going to very sensitive to areas such as equal accomodations, civil rights laws, etc. They certainly know the perils of Title VII lawsuits and whatnot (Title VII offers protections to sabbath observers and whatnot).
