Every law school is much more than a building with students, faculty and current courses.
Students in schools with good alumni relationships reap the benefits of these ties. One measure of active support can be found by asking what percentage of the alumni provide regular financial gifts to the school on an annual basis. Alumni will be most likely to support those schools that delivered on promises of a good legal education and that continue to respect the professional activities of their graduates. Alumni who maintain positive feelings towards their alma mater are most likely to help new graduates who seek to follow in their footsteps. Prospective students should find and talk to alumni of schools they may want to attend.
