How to research law schools?

What's the best way to research law schools? I'm off to a little bit of a late start in the application process, but I have a group of 3-5 schools I am for sure applying to. However, I want to be sure I'm not leaving out a school that would be a great fit for me. Please help!

    I used 7Sages predictor first so I knew what my odds were at a given school. Then considered the cost of attendance (not just tuition), LRAP, placement into big law, and clinical strength. I'm going to build my app list based on numbers and once I'm accepted, I'll visit campuses and get a sense of culture.

    Find all of the schools that you are within the gpa and lsat ranges for, check their region, check their local/regional reputation and employment outcomes.

    Here is a good resource for just the numbers:
