The 2017 Law School Rankings: The Finest In Fact-Based List Making
This is our fifth year ranking law schools, but it's the first year schools west of the Hudson take the top spots.
It’s that time of year again. The American Bar Association has released its updated statistics on law school employment outcomes, which means we can release our law school rankings. As you know, the Above the Law rankings are entirely outcome-based: we rank law schools by how well their students do upon graduating, not based on how strong they were on the way in. That’s why it’s important to us to use the latest ABA data.
We’re also the only law school rankings to have a significant change at the top this year. This is our fifth year ranking law schools, but it’s the first year schools west of the Hudson take the top spots.
What can we say, we go where the jobs go.
