Top 10 Law Schools for Health Law
In 2014, Law Street Media released its first set of law school rankings, in response to the changing legal education industry. Law Street Specialty Rankings are a detailed resource for prospective law students as they consider the many law schools across the country. You'll notice some differences this year, as we return to the categories we first ranked in 2014. This year, we've changed the way we do our methodology slightly, to reflect feedback from our readers and the law school community. We've also redesigned our look, to make it easier to navigate and compare various schools. But as always, Law Street Specialty Rankings are built to blend the quantitative and qualitative in a way that accurately highlights the top law schools based on specialty programs. Check out this year's full list here.
This year's law school specialty rankings were compiled by Anneliese Mahoney, Alexis Evans, Celia Heudebourg, Gabe Fernandez, James Levinson, Josh Schmidt, and Marcus Dieterle.
