FWIW, Bama is a good school, but Tuscaloosa's pretty much a sh!t-hole.

Then I would look at schools with a more national reach: Duke, Emory, Vandy, UNC, UGA, and Alabama. Particularly in this economy, the higher your school is ranked, the better your job prospects will be. It's no guarantee, but it'll get you started on the right foot. Of course, things will likely pick up a little in the next three years, but you'll also still see the lag from all the law school grads that weren't able to get positions right out of school.
