Thanks

Not exactly, at least to me. "social traditionalist"--can you clarify what you mean by that?

You mean like, what's the most blue blood school in those cities? The most Republican school? The school with the best manners a la Emily Post?

Its hard to explain. To give you an example, Huckabee is for me a social traditionnalist.

No, it is not all in your extremely vague question.

Social traditions vary regionally, in various social groups/niches, and change over time.

In general I think the concept of 'social traditionalism' is based on sticking with and continuing to do things in the same ways people have been behaving and doing things in the past.  Is that what you mean?

Are you trying to get information about political points of view that relate to the political dispositions of law schools and/or their views about certain areas of the law?  

If you are trying to write a personal statement or construct applications in a way to pander to the political points of view of the admissions committees, you are going about it incorrectly.  Pretty much every law school has professors on staff and admission committee members with various different conflicting political points of view.

The cultures of societies and government practices everywhere in the world are changing and evolving as they have always done during known history. They are changing much faster now due to new technologies and resulting ease of access to information and communication methods.

You need to be much more specific with your question in order to have intelligent dialog and get good feedback.  (PS: you misspelled traditionalist)    

What are the relevant issues you are thinking about and want to discuss (other than you getting lucky that LSAC cut you a break and didn't put a misconduct note on your record)?

You mean right wing, republican, religious conservatives then? Rick Santorum fits this mold as well (as do many others).

@ jeffort and ashley: that's exactly what I mean

There are different ways to look at it. Are the students conservative or liberal in their views? What about the faculty? Or is it that the school promotes a conservative or liberal interpretation of the law?

Brian Leiter discusses the most conservative law faculties here, which is a start: http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2009/05/the-most-conservative-law-faculties.html

That lists the top 5 lib and conservative schools. Plus other lists, too.

do you know conservative law schools in SF or LA?

Conservative can mean a lot of things. Do you mean politically conservative? Do you mean socially or religiously conservative? (Yes, the three can often be intertwined, but not always). What exactly is it that you're looking for, and why the focus on the conservative aspect? FYI, most schools will have conservative (political/religious/social) groups that you can join. As a general rule, law schools tend to be somewhat liberal establishments (although, as I said, they will all have conservative groups and factions you can join), so you'll be hard-pressed to find one that is fully conservative (and, really, would you want to? One of the best things about education is getting to know those who think differently from you, and learning how to appreciate those differences and defend your own ideologies). Also, looking for a conservative law school in San Francisco or Los Angeles (which I'm assuming is what you mean by "SF" and "LA") might be pretty difficult, considering they are both fairly liberal locales. I would say focus more on getting into the best school that you can, and less on its ideological leaning.

For example, I consider BYU and Notre Dame as conservative law schools.

I am searching conservative schools in the west coast generally. But if you know some good law schools (even liberal ones) in the west coast, dont hesitate to tell me the names. I am searching schools in the 155-165 score range. Of course, I prefer law schools opened to the international applications.
