Quinnipiac University School of Law

If you have a great LSAT and you’re thinking of coming here because they offered you a pile of cash, just know that you’ll have to work your nuts off to get into and maintain top 10% or top 5% standing. The biggest difference between this school and schools like the one down the road is the depth and breadth of the bottom; the students at the top are extraordinary and would be a credit to any institution.
Great culture for learning. Many excellent professors with years of practical experience. People like Jeff & Linda Meyer, Martin Margulies, Jeff Cooper are highly respected among practitioners. Outstanding interhsip/externship program thanks to Carrie Kaas. I have not seen a school with field placements as good as this one, and I have friends at schools in most of the top 10.
I got a fantastic legal education here, but I also put a lot into my education here.

I feel obligated to spread the following message about QUSL: Unless you plan on studying law, sitting for the bar, practicing, living, and dying in Connecticut, then avoid Quinnipiac University School of Law like the plague. It will lead to absolutely no out-of-state or national opportunites. Whenever someone asks where you go to law school you will be forced to hear one of the following responses: “Oh, the school that does all the surveys?”, “Oh, they have a law school? Is that new?”, or “Where is that again?”. I won’t even touch upon the depressing lack of social life or the miserable C+/B- curve. The only reason any graduate of Quinnipiac ever gets hired is because all of the Yale and UConn grads get better offers in New York or Boston, leaving the scraps of the small-time Connecticut scene to QU Law grads.

Quinnipiac is a regional school, but they certainly do not reflect to their students what exactly that means….so I will. Unless you want to go to law school, sit for the bar, live, practice, and die in Connecticut, then this is not the school for you. No one outside of Connecticut (or in Connecticut for that matter) has ever heard of this law school, but you will be asked “Oh, the place that does the polls?” an awful lot…avoid if you want any kind of successful career or comfort in life.
