I'm fiscally libertarian and classically liberal on most political issues. I was concerned about this myself as I already go to an extremely left school for undergrad. I still recommend you go to the best school possible even if your politics do not align with the schools.

I was given some pretty good advice about this by someone who has a similar mindset as us and went to T14. If you're thinking about going into politics later in life, going into a school where everyone is arguing for opposite agendas would be the perfect opportunity for you to learn the ins and outs of your political opponents arguments so you can crush them in debate later in life. However, if you're not going to law school for politics just keep your head down and try not to bring it up or do your best to ignore them. If the professors you come across are actually vile and harass students based on their political beliefs you can always become a very successful lawyer who makes buckets of money and then donates to the school later in life to get the professor fired.

I for one will just try to keep my head down and avoid any politically charged conversations. But whatever you decide to do good luck. There are still some great law schools that tend to lean on the right like Chicago, if you are concerned about harassment or being a loner. But, I don't think you will be alone wherever you end up. I think a lot of students like me have become sick of how polarized and divisive politics have become and will not care what your beliefs are.

On the off-chance things are absolutely dreadful wherever you end up I'll grab a beer with you lol

Long time creeper and first time poster here. Help would be greatly appreciated, especially on RC. To say I underperformed on the June LSAT would be a great understatement.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
