School of Law Named 18th Best Value in Legal Education

The National Jurist ranked the University of Arkansas School of Law the 18^th “Best Value” among American law schools. The School of Law is one of only 20 law schools to earn a grade of “A” for offering a quality legal education at an affordable price.  

“We are pleased to be recognized for what our students and alums have always known – that our law school provides a world-class legal education at a fantastic rate of return for their tuition dollars,” said Stacy L. Leeds, dean of the School of Law.

The rankings weigh tuition, debt load upon graduation, two-year bar exam passage rate, two-year state bar exam passage rate, and two-year employment rate. According to National Jurist, the goal of the ranking is, “[t]o find the law schools where graduates have an excellent chance of passing the bar and getting a job, without taking on a ton of debt.”
