Law Street’s Law School Specialty Rankings are based on a 100-point formula that takes into account specialty courses offered (25 points), networking and extracurricular opportunities in the discipline (20 points each), other rankings such as those published by U.S. News & World Report, College Atlas, and Find the Best (15 points), proximity to subject-relevant employment centers (10 points), and length of program (10 points). Bonus points may be awarded for a service, program, or attribute in the discipline that isn’t considered by the aforementioned criteria.
