The 2021 ATL Top 50 Law School Rankings Are Finally Here

New this year: A surprising Harvard tie.

We now present the ninth (!) annual ATL Top 50 Law School Rankings.

As always, our methodology is based purely on outcomes, especially on the schools’ success in placing their graduates into quality jobs as lawyers. In addition to focusing exclusively on such outcomes, ours are the only rankings to incorporate the latest ABA employment data concerning the Class of 2020.

This year, for the first time, we’re requiring readers to cough up an email address to access the full list. (Sorry for the inconvenience, but at least it’s not a paywall.) However, here is a preview of our 2021 Top Ten. Can you spot the surprising tie?
