Today LLM student, tomorrow lawyer.

Hi everyone, I am looking for advices about wich Law Schools attend.
I am an Italian lawyer and I have been admitted to AU, USD and PennState. I am pending for USC too.
Both USD and PennState awarded me a merit scholarship.
My goal is to find a job in the US even if I know is very hard for foreigned trained lawyer.

I am interested in International Business Law and I would like to know which Law School has a better reputation among US law firms and wich one has more practical approach courses.

I am aware of US ranking and the best seems to be AU but I am not conviced. On the student attention point of view PennState gave me a better impression during the admission process.

Anyone with some experience in those Law Schools can help me?

Thank you very much.

Update:

I attended the online open house of Penn State. I got a really good impression, they have a really and beautyfull and modern Law School, with great technologies and great attention to students.

I almost discharged USD because for what I understand (maybe I am wrong), you will not have great networking and so very little difficulties in finding a job in the US.

About AU I really do not understand: is really high ranked in International Law, they organise on campus interviews and have great networking, but its old ugly building makes it appears a low profile Law School.

Any opinions around?

For International Law, there is no comparison between AU and PSU. AU would be a much better program based on rankings, networking, internship opportunities in DC and so many other reasons. Do not worry about the old building because it is in Washington and that old building will be filled with great professors, speakers and great fellow students.

PSU may have a nice building, but it is out in the countryside and does not have the opportunities that you would get at AU. Really no reason to choose PSU, in my opinion.

I share your point of view. No doubt about better networking in AU.

My point was is that school as good the ranking suggests? On the academic and relation with professors point of view, could PSU be better?
