Most law school falls between $5,292 and $16,933, with a typical figure near $9,466 per year.

Is Law School cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in Vancouver.
How many quotes should I get for law school?
