First, we’ll begin with the methodology Princeton Review used to determine which law schools have the most diverse faculty. This ranking was based on both school-reported data — the percent of law school faculty from an underrepresented minority group — and student surveys, specifically, their answers to a survey question on whether the faculty comprises a broadly diverse group of individuals.
Per Princeton Review, these are the law schools with the most diverse faculty:
1. Southern University Law Center
2. University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law
3. University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law
4. Florida International University College of Law
5. University of Miami School of Law
6. Western State College of Law at Westcliff University
7. University of California-Irvine School of Law
8. Loyola University New Orleans School of Law
9. City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law
10. University of California-Los Angeles School of Law
