Rating of ABA Approved Law Schools
No rating of law schools beyond the simple statement of their accreditation status
is attempted or advocated by the official organizations in legal education. Qualities
that make one kind of school good for one student may not be as important to another.
The American Bar Association and its Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the
Bar have issued disclaimers of any law school rating system. Prospective law students
should consider a variety of factors in making their choice among schools.
