Just start at the top and go on down.
They say the low ranked schools teach you more practical skills. That’s fine and all, but law still places a premium on your school’s reputation. Most of your “skills” will be acquired during internships and later on, on the job training. So, it’s still better to go to the best law school you can. By “best”, people usually refer to the US News rankings.

If you know where you want to be in practice later, consider picking that state’s main public law school (if you can get in). It helps for networking purposes and gives you something more in common with the judges and lawyers whom you’ll be facing (and even some of your jurors!).
If you don’t know where you want to practice, or the place you like has no public law school (Alaska!), try a school with a strong emphasis on trial advocacy clinics.

There are plenty. Go to your library or bookstore and get a copy of U.S. News’ “Complete Guide to Law Schools.” It has MUCH more information than the list you can link to above. There is a lot of detail about specific schools and the programs/specialties they have. I found it invaluable in my search for a law school.
