Tiers and Ranking
- The American Bar Association does not stand behind any ranking system of ABA-accredited law schools beyond their accreditation.
- Please read the official statement from Law School Deans Regarding Ranking .
"Since there is no official ranking authority, you should be cautious in using such rankings. The factors that make up a law school's reputation - strength of curriculum, faculty, career services, ability of students, quality of library facilities, and the like - don't lend themselves to quantification. Even if the rankings were more or less accurate, the school reputation is only one factor among many for you to consider." - The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools, 2000 Edition; A Publication of the Law School Admissions Council
- While commercial rankings cannot tell you much about whether the school in 25th place or the school in 30th place would be better for you, many students still like to see how the schools are ranked generally - i.e., whether a school falls into the top 50 or bottom 50 of a particular ranking system. Please see the following links for several commercial law school rankings:
