Because of public funding cuts, endowment losses, and the desire to keep up with other top law schools, many public law schools are increasing tuition as much as 20% for the upcoming school year.
While most public law schools will still cost less than private, the difference between the price tags is getting smaller, which according to an article in the National Law Journal, "has led administrators and professors to worry about whether public institutions are fulfilling their mission of remaining affordable."
