Women are continuing to break barriers in the legal profession each day, and law school enrollment is no different. For nearly a decade, women have outnumbered men when it comes to their presence in law school classrooms. More women are learning the law than ever before, and that’s something worth celebrating.
The latest Princeton Review law school rankings are out, and today, we’ll focus on yet another incredibly important ranking during these unprecedented times in America: The law schools with the greatest resources for women.

First, we’ll begin with the methodology Princeton Review used to determine which law schools offer the greatest resources for women. This ranking was based on the percentage of the student body who identify as women as well as on student answers to a single survey question: Whether all students are afforded equal treatment by students and faculty regardless of their gender.
According to Princeton Review, these are the law schools where women stand on equal footing with their male classmates:
- UC Davis School of Law (ranked #4 last year)
- UCLA School of Law (no change)
- Florida State University College of Law (ranked #1 last year)
- Charleston School of Law (unranked last year)
- CUNY School of Law (ranked #8 last year)
- Vanderbilt University Law School (ranked #10 last year)
- New York Law School (ranked #3 last year)
- University of San Francisco School of Law (ranked #7 last year)
- Samford University Cumberland School of Law (ranked #9 last year)
- Stanford University School of Law (ranked #6 last year)
Law school may be the perfect place for women in America to resist, persist, and prove that the future is female. The law is a powerful tool, and we hope that women who want change will wield it wisely. Best of luck in law school!
