Hello all,

I'm just wondering how do you guys think about going to Top Law Schools (let's say top ten) on scholarships with obligation of 2-3 years of working and other general law schools (top 100 or no rank) on obligation-free scholarship. Which one would you prefer?

Let's share some opinion here so that people in this similar situation can make informed decisions. Thanks!

What are the schools that require you to work for them for 2-3 years? I have never heard of that.
I think it depends of what kind of job they offer...

Hey Sierra

The bonded scholarship is not sponsored by law schools but a financial institutions in my country. So, after graduated I will have to work for them for about 2 years and 3 months something. It's not the kind of job I like...in-house lawyer with absolute zero opportunity to learn more.....

That job (even if it looks boring now) can turn out to be a good opportunity, can not it?
Although, I am not a good adviser for you, since I am not sure what job exactly is offered. Sprry. I though you meant some law school offer in the US.
