Before you decide which offer of admission to accept, find out how the law school handles returning homemakers. If you have been a homemaker away from both the academic world and the employment market for any length of time, you will be a minority in law school. Find out EXACTLY how the law school with the seat to sell for from ten to twenty-five thousand dollars a year intends to meet YOUR needs.

Ask for names and contact information of current students who began law school after several years as "only" homemakers. Ask for names of such students who left the program without degrees. Ask WHY? Realize that you will be part of a tiny minority. Get the law school to put in writing a guarantee that you will not be placed in a section where you are the only dramatically older student unless there is NO other older student in the incoming class. If your requests are refused or met with confusion and disbelief that you would make such demands, take your money elsewhere.
