UH law school graduates can pay off loans quickly
University of Hawaii law school graduates attract starting salaries that give them a good shot at paying off their debt quickly, a national magazine reports.
U.S. News and World Report said earlier this month that the UH William S. Richardson School of Law is one of the 10 best law schools in the country in terms of starting salaries that exceed the debt that graduates carry.
Others include Yale University, Boston University and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
The list, based on 2014 data, shows average student debt at the UH-Manoa law school of $56,266, with a median private-sector starting salary for its graduates of $77,500.
“Law school can still lead to a highly profitable career for the most fortunate law graduates,” notes the article. “At the 10 U.S. ranked law schools with the highest salary-debt ratios, the median starting salary of recent graduates who work in the private sector greatly exceeds the average student’s school debt.”

The story is misleading in that it fails to report that a Richardson Law School graduate will pay $1M for a home in Hawaii whereas graduates of mainland law schools will pay about $300K for a comparable size home.
slow down on Lawyers …they will dissect a simple cure
I hope this is not just enrollment spin, on the part of UHM, as if this is true, UHM would be a outlier.

Founds like another pump-and-dump spin. Just took a glance at Law Jobs. Not a single job available anywhere in the entire state of Hawaii for lawyers! hahahaha
