A quick definition of mutual will:

A mutual will is a type of will where two people, usually a husband and wife, make identical or similar provisions for their estates in favor of each other. It can be separate wills or a single mutual will. The surviving testator is required to dispose of the property according to the terms of the will. It is also known as a reciprocal will, counter will, double will, or mutual testament.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A type of will where two people, usually a husband and wife, create separate wills that have identical or similar provisions for the distribution of their estates in favor of each other. It is also possible for the testators to execute a single mutual will, as opposed to separate ones.

Example: John and Jane are a married couple who want to ensure that their estates are passed on to each other after their death. They create separate wills that have identical provisions, leaving their assets to each other. These wills are known as mutual wills.

Explanation: Mutual wills are created by two people who want to ensure that their estates are passed on to each other after their death. The wills have identical or similar provisions, and the surviving testator is required to dispose of the property in accordance with the terms of the will. Mutual wills are usually created by married couples, but it is possible for more than two parties to execute mutual wills.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
