"Almost 25% of accredited law schools were led by a new dean in 2025, according to Law.com. Forty-five of the 197 U.S. law schools accredited by the council of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, or 22.8%, had new deans, with one school appointing co-deans, according to the Association of American Law Schools' Rosenblatt's Deans Database."
"Among the schools with new deans are the Georgetown University Law Center, Harvard Law School, the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, the University of Chicago Law School, the University of Michigan Law School and Yale Law School, according to the story. Despite shifts, the gender and ethnicity mix of law school leaders remain nearly unchanged as compared to data from May, according to Law.com."
