In an effort to recruit the nation's best and brightest, the newest public university law school in California in over 40 years will be offering free tuition to the 60 students who are accepted to its inaugural class.
The article appears here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2008-12-26-law-school_N.htm
Would the allure of a free law degree make it worth the downside of applying to a fledgling school?
It depends on where these law students intend to go in their legal career. There are quite a few law firms that will hire the best of the best from many law schools, and there are other law firms that look only at the top law schools in the country to recruit.44634

This offer will certainly have an impact on those students considering UCLA and USC law schools - Dean Chemerinsky was a highly respected faculty member at USC and then Duke University.
However, I wonder if California's current budget crisis will impact this offer and how the school will handle the costs of out-of-state tuition.44637
