Law School Scholarships

I am currently looking into law schools that offer impressive scholarship opportunities. I plan on attending law school Fall 2009. I still have one more year to complete my bachelor's degree and already took the LSAT this year (and scored competitively). I eventually wish to obtain the JD, LL.M., and S.J.D degrees. I'm trying to tentatively plan my educational path and am looking to try to capitalize on schools' scholarship programs. I know that Northwestern offers a full-ride (and even a monthly stipend) to those pursuing the six (6) year JD/Ph.D. I am very interested in applying to that this next year and -- fingers crossed -- really hope I get into that program. Also, NYU offers a full-ride/monthly stipend to their J.S.D. students (so I'm definitely interested in going there for the J.S.D.). I'm not sure of any schools that offer the scholarship/stipend for the LL.M. program though. Are you aware of any other schools that have generous scholarship programs at the JD, LL.M., and J.D.S. (or S.J.D.) levels? Thanks.

I don't think Northwestern offers an S.J.D.

No, NU doesn't offer an S.J.D. but they do offer a JD/Ph.D. program that's fully funded. The Ph.D. you pursue in conjunction with your legal education can be taken in any subject (but because of their close ties with the American Bar Foundation they recommend something in the social sciences). And NYU fully funds their J.S.D. program. I'm interested in other law programs that are fully funded (especially the LL.M. level since I am not aware of any fully-funded LL.M. programs). Thanks.
