As a (much) older law school hopeful, I have to say this would be a no-brainer for me, for three reasons:
You want to go into public interest, a field with few high paying jobs and increasing competition for them. http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/are_public_interest_and_public_sector_careers_worth_the_cost_of_law_school_/
Northeastern has a stellar reputation in legal community for public law, and the fellowship will give you networking opportunities you need to market yourself well.
I've spent almost 20 years of my life paying off debt (some mine, some not) and I'm just now (at age 43) seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The the opportunity, freedom, and peace you will have if you can graduate debt-free will far outweigh any (perhaps perceived) prestige you might acquire from a T14 school-- if it comes at the price that effectively means years of indentured servitude. Trust me.
