Don’t Miss Out! The Best Law Schools In The World (2022)

Here at Law School Lists, we want to make sure that you’re not missing out on the opportunity to go to the best law schools in the world. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the top 25  schools around the world based on their 2012 Law School Rankings from Top Law Schools.

In addition, you can find some helpful advice on how to choose your law school and what kind of career you can expect after graduating from one of these law schools. Good luck!

Ranking Criteria

To select the best  schools in the world, our ranking considered four factors: which schools graduates can get jobs after graduation, where students are most satisfied with their experience,

what employers think of the school’s curriculum and alumni’s ability to find employment and the number of international students enrolled.

The rankings are broken down into 10 tiers based on those factors.

To come up with the list of top 20  schools in the world we consulted Niche, U.S. News & World Report, QS, and The Economist.

Each ranking is compiled from more than 40 sources including surveys from employers as well as input from college academics and officials. All information collected is to this point within 2019. The 2020-2020 2021 rankings will be updated regularly to reflect any changes that occur during this time.
