Subscription pricing
I've been offered one full ride from a school I'm less interested in and a couple of generous aid packages (appx $45k/year). But even with $45k per year, it is outrageously expensive. Another school is interviewing me for a full ride. I've informed the Admissions departments of the various offers already. Does anyone have specific advice on how to wring that last $13k or so per year out of them? Many thanks.
I know them all fairly well. My professional work involves the election of judges. But perhaps a direct employer is better?

The absence of academic LOR won't seem suspect at all, especially since you graduated 20 years ago.
You'd be best served by getting a couple of LORs from your current or past employers. LORs from judges and other prominent legal types can be helpful, but really only if they can speak to work you've done for them.
