Law School Specialty Rankings Methodology

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