Politically conservative candidates find a like-minded student body in these ten schools. This score measures the competitiveness of admissions to each law school on a scale of 60 to 99. Factors considered include the average LSAT score and undergraduate GPA of 1L students, the percentage of applicants who are accepted, and the percentage of candidates who are accepted and eventually enrolled. No data from the student survey is used for this calculation. This assessment is intended to be used to compare all law schools, whether or not their students responded to our law student survey. If a law school has relatively low admission selectivity, this does not necessarily mean that it is easy to obtain admission to that law school. (It`s really not easy to study at law schools recognized by the ABA.) Low admission selectivity simply means that the school performed worse than other schools based on the above criteria. “Each of the 164 law schools we have selected for our 2021 Best Law Schools project offers outstanding scholars,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of the Princeton Review. “We report law school rankings in 14 categories – rather than a mega-list based solely on academics – for one reason: to help applicants identify the most appropriate law school for them. Our lists name schools that excel in areas that law school applicants have deemed important to them – from career opportunities to differences in campus culture.

Princeton Review`s 2021 ranking of top law schools is based on data from the company`s surveys of 14,000 students from 164 law schools and faculty administrators. The student surveys were conducted during the 2019-2020, 2018-19 and 2017-18 academic years. The 80-question survey (completed on www.princetonreview.com/survey) asked students about their schools` education, student body and campus life, as well as their own career plans. On average, 85 students were interviewed at each law school. The surveys of school administrators were conducted in 2019-2020. Only schools that participate in the Princeton Review Administrator and Student Survey for this project are eligible for the ranking.

The Princeton Review`s survey of students as part of this project asked students to rate their law schools on dozens of topics and share their experiences in schools. The survey of company directors collected data on everything from admission requirements, academic offers and financial support to facts about graduate employment. For more information on ranking methodology, see www.princetonreview.com/law-school-rankings/ranking-methodology. Note: All faculty participating in Princeton Review surveys for the Best Law Schools project will be considered for the ranking. Schools that do not participate will not be considered. Each rating places each law school on the list on a continuum to compare the 168 law schools in this academic year alone. As we refine our assessment calculations each year, we don`t want to compare the scores of schools on the 2022 Best Law School list with previous profiles on PrincetonReview.com another academic year.

You can find information about our rankings in our law school ranking methodology. The Princeton Review website contains profiles of all 164 law schools. Profiles are updated annually with information on admission requirements, academic offerings, financial aid, campus life, and graduate employment. The profiles show Princeton Review`s law school ratings. Scores range from 60 to 99 and are mainly based on analyses of institutional data. Assessment categories include admission selectivity, academic experience and career. Find out which schools benefit from a diverse faculty. Four of the five ratings are based in whole or in part on the opinions of law students collected through our law student survey. Only the 168 law schools on our full list of top law schools 2022 whose students we surveyed receive these four grades. All schools in our database whose administrators complete our annual law school dataset (which includes admissions statistics, among others) receive an admissions selectivity rating.

Our law school ratings are numerical ratings that we give to schools on a scale of 60 to 99 in various areas. This score measures the quality of the school`s learning environment on a scale of 60 to 99. Factors considered include the selectivity rating of admissions, as well as students` assessment of: the quality of teaching and accessibility of their professors, their school`s research resources, the range of courses available, the balance between the program`s emphasis on legal theory and practical defense, tolerance for different opinions in class and the degree of intellectual challenge that the course represents. This score puts each law school on a continuum to compare all law schools in this year`s edition. If a law school scores relatively low, it doesn`t necessarily mean that it offers a bad academic experience to its students. On the contrary, it simply means that the school performed worse than other schools based on the above criteria. Today, The Princeton Review also reported on its ranking of the top business schools for 2021 in 18 categories and its ranking of the top 50 online MBA programs.
