Albany Law School Fall Open House

Albany Law School, in Albany, New York, is not far from New England, and (unlike most New England law schools) has the advantage of connecting students to the huge law market of New York State (which is bigger than all New England states put together). Albany is also the capital of New York State. It is roughly a two-hour drive from U Mass Amherst.

Albany LS is hosting a fall open house on Saturday, November 17, from 11 am to 2 pm. Continental breakfast will be served.

Details:

Albany LS, 80 New Scotland Avenue, Albany, NY

RSVP online at www.albanylaw.edu or admissions@albanylaw.edu; or telephone (518) 445-2326.

Should I retake the LSAT?

Many students ask this question. The answer mainly turns on the answer to another question:

If I take the LSAT twice, will my law school average my scores or take the higher?

Someone recently did a careful study of this issue. It turns out that most law schools will now take the higher score. A few still average. If you would like to see your law school's policy, follow the link below.
