Good reviews
Overall 4.9
Great professors and intellectual student body. Clinical requirements designed for practical experience. Many clubs/organizations and employment opportunities.
Overall 4.6
UConn is a regional law school with a strong regional reputation. If you really want a big city Biglaw job, you can hook it up by cultivating the right professors, who have excellent networks within their specialties. If you want to work in academia, ace your 1L year and transfer to a T-3. If you want a great education, you can find it here.
Overall 4.3
UCONN LAW is a small campus but a beautiful campus. The buildings are picturesque, the classrooms are roomy and cozy while also tech-friendly and tech-savy. There is a small little dining hall called Truffles and the food is great but it is small. There are tons of clubs and organizations and all of them are great for making connections in the area

The buildings are pretty from the outside but with the exception of the library, all are shabby on the inside and need rehabbing. The placement office is useless unless you are at the top of the class, but luckily the director is leaving. A few of the administrators are nice but many are unresponsive. Most students are not intellectual.
Overall 1.6
They threw lots of scholarship money at me but big deal since it is hard to get a high paying job from here. I met with the administrators when i was making up my mind where to go. I feel i was sold a bill of goods. Nice little campus but you don't dare go downtown to Hartford. Boston and NYC are a bit far and expensive so you are stuck here.

If you come here you better be a star in the first year so you can transfer to a top law school. It happens every year but the school will not mention that. The new dean was supposed to work miracles for the school but has done nothing and school continues to drop in US News. I was a TA and heard a lot. Faculty morale is terrible.
Overall 1.7
If you want to work in NY, Boston, Washington go elsewhere If you want to work in CT this is the place for you but you better be at the top of your class or you will end up with a three person firm making 40K. The Dean is a gladhander but not to be trusted and has done nothing to keep the school from sinking in US News. The faculty has 1 or 2 stars
Overall 1.8
Know how the School increased its US News Rankings? It did better in jobs for which a "JD is preferred" Those include being a stockbroker, an insurance sales man and who knows what else. Not exactly why we went to law school. If you come here, you must make law review so you can transfer to a better law school

4 senior faculty just resigned/retired. Jr faculty commute from Amhers t, Boston, NYC, Texas. A few of them have said that if they get an offer closer to home they will be gone. Risky to come here. The place may be going downhill. Keeps dropping in US News.
Overall 1.9
We had lunch with our professor and learned the following relevant info: faculty has lost faith in the dean, the dean does not trust the central administration, faculty have no secretarial help and the head of the secretaries is in over her head, the head of IT knows no IT, the head of placement is being squeezed out, and no jobs in Boston, NYC, DC

If I could tell my pre-law school self anything, it would be dont go here. Career services will help you if you want to do insurance or government work. If you dare to aspire beyond Hartford, youre on your own. Faculty are leaving, theres pitiful course offerings, 10% of students get jobs through OCI, and the school dropped 14 spots in 2 years
