How much does law school cost?

By Sally Kane, About.com

Question: How much does law school cost?

Answer: A law school education is not inexpensive. A recent study found that the average law student today leaves school with law school loans of more than $84,000 (in addition to the costs of undergraduate school).

Financial assistance for law school is available in the form of scholarships, grants, work-study and loans. Law students usually finance most of their education through loans, either through private sources or the federal government.
