About the 2026 Raw Data Law School Rankings Report

This report was released in December 2025. View full methodology and data sources →

GPA & LSAT

References to the lowest, median, and highest GPA and LSAT scores, including all data under the headings "GPA Low", "GPA Median", "GPA High", "LSAT Low", "LSAT Median" and "LSAT High" reflect those of the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile, respectively, among those applicants granted admission who enrolled as full-time students in fall 2025.

Acceptance Rates

The acceptance rates, indicated under the heading "Accept," are those of applicants granted admission as full-time students for classes commencing in fall 2025. The acceptance rates of the applicants do not reflect actual enrollment rates, a subset figure.

Student-to-Faculty Ratios

The student-to-faculty ratios are indicated under the heading "S/F Ratio" and show the number of students for that class per faculty member. These ratios reflect the applicants granted admission who enrolled as full-time students in fall 2025.

Location & Bar Passage Rates

The law school's home city and state appear beneath its name. The bar passage rates reflect those among first-time test takers for the winter and summer 2024 administrations of the bar examinations. "Bar St." is the jurisdiction in which the greatest number of the law school's graduates took the bar exam for the reported period; for schools whose graduates predominantly take another state's bar, this differs from the school's home state. "Pass Bar" is the bar passage rate among those students who passed the bar exam within that jurisdiction. "Bar St. Avg" indicates the statewide bar passage rate for that same jurisdiction, the baseline for judging the school's rate.

Employment Rates

Employment data from ABA reports, 10 months after graduation (Class of 2024):

Empl. Bar Req. — Full-time, long-term positions requiring bar admission
Empl. Rate — Overall employment rate (all positions)
Fed. Clerk — Federal judicial clerkship rate

Note: Judicial clerkships are counted separately from bar-required positions in ABA data, though most clerks take the bar and enter legal practice after their clerkship ends.

Gender, Race & Ethnicity

The data shown under "Male Fac." and "Fem. Fac." indicate the percentage of the faculty that are male and female, respectively.

The data shown under "Min. Fac." and "Min. Stu." indicate the percentage of the faculty and students that are racial or ethnic minority (Hispanics of any race, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, multiracial, non-resident alien, or unknown race).

Source: The data have been compiled from a variety of public sources, including data released by the law schools and from the bar examiner offices in each jurisdiction.

Next Release: Our 2027 report is slated for publication in December 2026.
