Law schools with a good criminal law program?

Question

I am a junior at a four year college with a major in history and my dream job is to become an attorney for the state of new york. I would love to go onward to law school after I graduate. I want to major in Criminal law. Does anyone know of any good law schools anywhere in the US that have good criminal law programs? Thank you.

Answer 1

You will find that most law schools who offer criminal law as a specialization have a good reputation for their program.

Generally speaking, it is pointless us giving you names of law schools since we do not know your GPA nor your LSAT score/potential and these factors are what law schools really take into consideration when making their admission decisions or least part of it.

For example, I will say that Georgetown has a good criminal law and procedure curriculum but if you are have a GPA of 3.0 and LSAT scores of 165 then Georgetown will not be an option for you, since you would need at least a 3.5 and scores of 170 to have a shot at this law school and even then it would be a reach school.
