            What does law school cost?
                  As with any graduate program, costs vary widely, with in-state tuition
                  at a state school typically costing the least.  You need to get specific
                  information from the schools that interest you.
                          The Law School Admission Council's homepage has information on financial aid.
            What can I do with a J.D.?
                  Most people with a J.D. are attorneys.  However, a legal education
                  can prepare you for other careers, including government jobs and jobs in
                  private industry.
