Law School Ranks in Top 10 as “Best Value” for Fifth Consecutive Year

The University of Alabama School of Law is ranked 5th among the nation’s “Best Value Law Schools,” according to The National Jurist magazine’s rankings for 2015.

This is the ninth time since 2004 The National Jurist magazine has published the list, and it is the fifth consecutive year the Law School has been ranked among the top 10 “Best Value Law Schools” across the country.

“We are pleased that this ranking recognizes two things that students and faculty at the School of Law have long known. We provide a program of high quality. And our program is affordable,” said Dean Mark E. Brandon. “These are important markers of an excellent law school.”

The ranking is designed to identify the law schools where graduates have the best chances of passing the bar and getting a legal position without taking on considerable debt. The National Jurist magazine considers the percentage of students who pass the bar exam, employment rate, tuition, cost of living and average indebtedness upon graduation.
