Is it worth it to go to a law school in a state where you don't plan on staying/practicing law?

Christina Walton · August 2020

I'm from Massachusetts and BC is the only school with the JD/MSW program I want to do. As a back up I am wondering if it would be worth it to apply to this program in other states. UCONN and UMD have this program but I ultimately want to practice law in Massachusetts. I've read its only worth it to go out of state if it's a T14 school, but is it possible to take the bar in a state other than where you went to law school?
