Do they provide a white wig upon acceptance because that would be a huge selling point for me.

Haha no I haven't even started applying to schools yet, but a buddy and I were talking about it and agreed that it would be pretty awesome to go to law school there.

I've never heard of Caribbean law schools for the US, but I'd imagine that would make it so you automatically lose the dck measuring portion of court cases

I had a friend go to law school in the Bahamas. Not technically the Caribbean but close enough. He seems to be doing quite well for himself, I can't remember the school name though.

The problem with law schools and to a certain degree Vet schools in the Caribbean is you won't make enough money to pay down the massive tuition and living expenses you incur. At least as a doctor you will make enough to pay off your loans somewhat comfortably depending on specialty.

Not even close

Probably not a good idea to go to a school not in US (or its territories) if you want to practice in the US unless you are darned sure the state where you want to work would approve a degree from that school and even allow you to take the bar exam.
A little googling indicates that in LA you would have to get your foreign degree declared equivalent to a US degree and also earn about a semester of credits at an ABA approved school.
And then you have to pass the LA bar exam.
