About the U.S. News rankings
The full-time law rankings include 194 American Bar Association-accredited law schools. U.S. News ranked the schools based on data collected in the fall of 2017 and early 2018. The rankings are based on a weighted average of a series of quality measures, including peer assessment score, assessment score by lawyers/judges, median LSAT scores, median undergrad GPA, acceptance rate, employment rates for graduates, bar-passage rate, expenditures per student, student/faculty ratio and library resources. The part-time rankings evaluate 73 law schools offering part-time programs and are based on a weighted average of four areas: quality assessment, selectivity, part-time focus and overall rank.
