Your background indeed sounds pretty interesting. As to the TOEFL, why do you refer to the paper-based test? Do you have the possibility to take the computer-based exam? I actually think that the computer-based exam could be a bit more accessible. Your English does not seem bad to me, so the computer-based test with its short essay might be worth a try. Even if you don't meet the TOEFL requirements (within reasonable limits), I would still apply to all those universities. Sure, it won't be positive, but in the end a lot depends on the person that reads your application. They won't throw away your application just because your score is not too good. An excellent background (including good grades at Law School - you haven't mentioned those) can most probably compensate for a low TOEFL score. Start training for the TOEFL, order the CD so you can give the test exams on it a shot (for the computer-based test), take the TOEFL and then you'll see more precisely what your situation is. DocJ
