Real
estate
law
sits
at
the
intersection
of
contracts,
finance,
tax,
and
regulatory
compliance,
making
it
one
of
the
most
practical
and
quietly
influential
areas
of
practice.
Whether
you
end
up
in
Biglaw,
a
boutique
shop,
or
hanging
your
own
shingle,
understanding
how
real
estate
transactions
work
—
from
due
diligence
to
closing
—
isn’t
just
a
niche
skill,
it’s
a
career
advantage.
Because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
someone
has
to
turn
all
that
legal
theory
into
signed
documents,
transferred
assets,
and
actual
dollars
changing
hands.
The National
Jurist’s
preLaw
magazine recently
released
its
specialty
ranking
of
the
best
law
schools
for
real
estate
on
its
Real
Estate
Law
Honor
Roll,
highlighting
schools
for
the
strength
of
their
programs.
Here’s
the
methodology
that
was
used:
preLaw
magazine
grades
law
schools
based
on
the
breadth
of
their
curricular
offerings.
The
scores
are
figured
as
follows:
30%
for
a
concentration,
24%
for
a
clinic,
12%
for
a
center,
12%
for
an
externship,
9%
for
a
journal,
8%
for
a
student
group,
5%
for
a
certificate
and
added
value
for
additional
offerings.
Without
further
ado,
according
to
preLaw
magazine,
these
are
the
law
schools
that
earned
A+,
A,
and
A-
grades
for
their
real
estate
law
programs:
-
Brooklyn
Law
School
(A+) -
University
of
Miami
(A+) -
New
York
Law
School
(A) -

important
ranking.
