The 13th annual Above the Law Top 50 Law School Rankings emphasize graduate outcomes over admission criteria. The rankings assess schools based on crucial metrics including employment rates, first-time bar passage rates, and legal job quality. They highlight the latest data for the Class of 2024, revealing that elite schools may not rank highly due to their performance in these specific outcomes. Yale made significant gains, reflecting improvements in both bar passage rates and job placements, while traditional metrics like LSAT scores were not included.
This year’s rankings underscore the importance of graduate outcomes over traditional measures, affirming that law schools should prioritize job placements and bar passage rates.
While elite schools like Harvard and Stanford are recognized, they fall short in our methodology's criteria focused on tangible outcomes rather than selectivity.
