If you're not sure that you want to end up "married to BIGLAW" consider this: the 15K per year extra tuition = 45K in extra loans over the course of LS = about $450 per month in higher loan payments (not counting accruing interest, and assuming you consolidate the loans over the course of 25 years).
That's a BIG deal if you're not pulling down a six figure salary. I don't know how good/bad a LS Temple may be, and I'd agree that GWU is a fairly well respected regional and is well represented at large firms in D.C. That said, think long and hard about the loans. That kind of debt can significantly limit your choices once you're out.
