Cheaper Than a BMW, $20K Law Degree is a Bargain for Tenn. Residents

A law degree costs considerably less than a base model BMW at the next-door luxury car dealership, for those attending Nashville School of Law.

At a total cost of a little less than $20,000 for current students, the law school is a bargain, reports the Nashville Business Journal. Buying a BMW sedan costs at least $10,000 more.

While it is not ABA-accredited, and hence can't qualify alumni to practice in states that require graduation from an ABA-accredited law school to take the bar exam, the Nashville institution has helped many Tennessee residents move forward in legal and business careers in their home state, the publication reports.
