About US News rankings

U.S. News ranks law schools using a formula that combines peer reputation surveys, employment outcomes, bar passage rates, student selectivity, and faculty resources, each assigned an editorial weight.

These are the most widely cited law school rankings. The methodology has changed over the years, and some schools have opted out of providing data to US News, so compare across years carefully.

One data point, not a verdict

Rankings are a useful tool to orient yourself, but law schools are not sports teams. Flattening a three-year, six-figure investment into a single number will always leave out nuance. The school ranked #3 overall might be the wrong choice if your goal is public interest law in the Pacific Northwest on a full scholarship.

Use this list as a starting point, then dig deeper:

  • Look at school profiles for employment rates, debt loads, and geographic placement.
  • Use the admissions predictor to map your realistic options.
  • Search our applicant data to see where people with your numbers applied and what scholarships they received.

The best law school for you is the one that fits your career and your finances, not the one at the top of a list.
