Although there’s been some movement near the top of the latest ATL law school rankings, a few institutions have been consistent leaders over the past decade.
Three schools have made the Top 5 for at least eight of the last 10 years:
- Duke (nine times)
- University of Chicago (10 times)
- University of Virginia (eight times)
The University of Virginia, ranked No. 4 this year, has been a regular in the Top 5 since 2018.
Duke, this year’s No. 1, has been among the Top 5 since 2017 and has also appeared more often than any other law school — four times — at the very top of the ranking.
Meanwhile, the University of Chicago is the only law school consistently ranked among the Top 5 every year since 2016.
