“You get what you pay for” is the old adage, but there are bargains, even when it comes to getting a law school education.

While more than $25,000 a year in tuition and fees still might seem like a lot of money to most people, it's a relative steal when weighed against the almighty U.S. News & World Report rankings.

The latest nonresident tuition and fees data from the American Bar Association (provided by the law school) is combined with the U.S. News numbers to present the 20 cheapest law schools among the top 100 ranked schools.

The South is well-represented, and Florida International University and the University of Florida made the list.

UF is the second-highest ranked law school on the list, sitting on the bottom with a tab of $38,904 and a magazine rank of 41. The 30th-ranked University of Georgia is the only higher ranked team on the list.

FIU brings a bigger bargain to the table with annual tuition of fees of $36,050 and a magazine ranking of 100, placing it 10th on the list of good, cheap law schools.
