Hi.

I got admitted to the Buffalo Law's accelerated JD program. I've also received a huge scholarship. I'd be paying around 30k for the two years should I go on to join the law school.
Do you think is it a wise investment for someone looking to stay and work in the US? My other options are LLMs but I don't think they're worth anything in the US. Any advice would be appreciated

Do you hold a law degree from another country?  If so, I suggest considering LLM programs, which are only one year and will enable you to sit for the bar in some jurisdictions (e.g. New York)

Yes I do hold a law degree. But wouldn't a JD provide better employment opportunities as compared to the LLM?

Hi, 

I've been admitted to 2 Year JD Program in SUNY Buffalo as well. As a matter of fact, I am worried about the Law school's ranking. Do law school rankings really matter? There are only a handful of universities that offer 2 year JD Program of which the T50 ones ask for LSAT. I applied to Depaul, Drexel, Richmond, Seattle Uni, SUNY Buffalo, and Syracuse and got admitted to all of them with a good scholarship. 

Now to reiterate my question: Do law school rankings really matter? My only concern is SUNY Buffalo having poor rankings. 

Better look at employment statistics of the respective schools. Most of the students at these lower-tier schools are unable to find employment even after a 3 year JD. So as a foreign student with a 2 year JD, it might be even harder. An LLM at a better-ranked school in a big city might open more doors as opposed to a JD at a mediocre school. The reason they are more eager to admit students should be an alarm bell.
