Top Law School Rankings and Law Firm Finalist Announced

Above the Law has released its 11th annual Top 50 Law School Rankings, prioritizing employment outcomes and incorporating the latest ABA employment data for the class of 2022. Duke remains the No. 1 law school, followed by Cornell, UVA, Chicago, and Michigan. Notre Dame moved into the top 10 for the first time. The rankings reward schools that are effective in placing students in "real" lawyer jobs while balancing costs and debt. Some schools beyond the top 10 made impressive gains this year, while others dropped due to falling employment scores or rising costs.
