Law Schools With The Most Competitive Students v. Law Schools With The Best Quality Of Life (2025) - Above the Law
Briefly

The Princeton Review law school rankings reveal disparities in student competitiveness and quality of life. The most competitive law schools are not elite institutions, as their students often already feel assured of job security. Negative student behaviors, such as sabotage in study environments, characterize those schools. Student feedback focused on study hours and competitiveness levels forms the basis of these rankings, highlighting a clear divide between schools known for social life versus those driven by academic rivalry.
The most elite law schools in the nation are not found on a list of the law schools with the most competitive students because students know jobs are theirs for the taking.
Students at these schools reported extreme competitiveness, where some engage in negative behaviors like tearing pages out of library books or providing misleading homework assignments.
Survey categories included the number of hours students study outside of class and the degree of competitiveness among students at their law school.
These rankings reveal a stark contrast, showcasing law schools that prioritize quality of life compared to those marked by fierce academic competition.
