I know there are programs out there where the state (or others?) will help pay for one's law school in exchange for work afterwards. However, finding info on these is annoyingly hard. Anyone have any info/links on specific programs of the sort?

Ah, it was the way such things were phrased that was evading me. No, no particular state right now.

Actually, those in the above search results I have looked at so far are really talking about international exchange programs, including the one that is third from the top.

Yes, most law school public service programs work by helping repay loans, not by giving up-front assistance.
And many of the programs are NOT guaranteed, although they are well-funded enough to rely on them.
My standard advice: Don't go to law school unless you want to practice in some form. This doesn't mean just litigation - much (if not most) of public service practice is transactional or some other non-litigation context.
Systems analyst experience is a huge help, although a relational rather than OOP paradigm is probably more useful.

Heh, I've got the relational background down, both in programming and in mathematics .
I would intend to practice (at least for several years), but it would likely be in transactional areas, likely for a non-profit of some kind.
