25 Best Values in Law Schools (According to National Jurist)

On TaxProf Blog, with a helpful cross reference to their U. S. News overall ranking. The rankings are determined using in-state tuition rates and - I'm not familiar with distance law schools - all appear to be brick-and-mortar institutions.

My alma mater is number one.

 

law school ranking

This is idiotic beyond belief. Apart from the bar pass rate and proportion employed, It assumes all accredited law schools are equal in the value received. Therefore the cheapest that scores higher on those two variables comes out on top.

With all due respect to North Carolina Central, which is the top school in the survey, choosing it over a top tier law school is an indication that you're too dumb to be a lawyer.

The comments by readers on that page are well worth reading

 

It all depends of what a student is looking for in a lawschool, I guess.

If the goal is bar admission, then this list is useful. If the goal is to become a partner in a prestige NYC or DC lawfirm, then a patrician lawschool might be more effective. If the goal is legal scholarship, we might require a third list.

 

Wow from an Eagle. Just wow.

 

Of course, the fact that ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS has anything to do with distance learning has not escaped anyones notice(especially not mine).

You're reading way, way too into it. A 10-second scan should be all anyone needs to see that the ranking was based primarily on tuition and percent of employed grads.
