Mass School Of Law

is the process of graduating from law school extremely hard?..is it worth all the time and stress?..are the LSATs really hard?...and does anyone know any law schools in Mass?

LSATS are hard, the GRE is hard, the third factor they look into is your GPA. You can find study guides to the tests at any library, just look at some of those questions and you will see.

This is a discussion video at Massachusetts Schoole of Law about Iran's both social and political aspects, US policies and the reflections of ...

I like to write and I speak well, so I was thinking that I would enjoy having mass communication as my major before law school. If anyone knows of some good career moves for a new lawyer in the industry of mass communication, I would love to have some insight.

Mass communication would be a good major. I am a law student now, and have classmates with all different types of undergrad degrees. However, I would recommend taking courses in philosophy, english, history, and political science. But do not worry, when you get to law school, they will teach you everything you need to know about law. Good luck!

Which Law School?

I have the option to attend Albany Law (no scholarship costs $35k a year, but is a Tier 3 law school), Western New England Law (Scholarship money will make my out of pocket cost $15k a year but it is a Tier 4 law school located in Springfield Mass) or New England Law School (cost per year will be $25k, advantage of being in Boston, also a Tier 4 law school).

Since none of these schools are top 50 law schools (where competition is greatest and "name recognition" and contacts can help you with nationwide jobs) there are two questions:
(1) Where do you want to practice? and
(2) What do you want to do?

Tier 3/4 schools can be great, but what it usually means is that you're geographically restricted to the locale in which they are located (or any sporradic pockets where alums are located). So, if you want to practice in NY (especially in NY government), then Albany will be your best choice. If you want to practice in New England, then choose one of the others.
I hear that the Boston legal market is REALLY hard to crack, with all of the good schools nearby. I don't know what sort of reach New England or W. New England has in Boston -- you should ask those questions.

Second, what do you want to do? Do you want to work at a larger firm? Then cost doesn't matter that much; you'll be making 6 figures right away (provided you graduate in the top 10% of your class) and can pay back your loans. But if you spend $125,000 on law school, realize that big law firm life is about the ONLY thing you can do.

Now, if you only have $40,000 in debt, your options are wider open. You can work for the government (~$40-50,000 starting), you can work as a district attorney (~$25-50,000 starting), with loan repayment assitance, you may be able to work at a nonprofit or public interest job (sometimes $20,000 or less...)

Good luck.

Does the existence of Mass Communication schools really help in promoting mass media law among media practitioners, talents, and entrepreneurs?

Why wouldn't it?

As someone who has gone to journalism school and law school, I can say for a fact that no, the existence of mass comm schools does not really help in promoting mass media law among media practitioners.
This is mostly because nearly every professional mass media organization has a battery of media lawyers on retainer. They're paid to worry about media law so media practitioners don't have to.
Mass comm schools don't really factor into the equation at all.
