Which law schools do you think came out on top of these lists?
The post The Law Schools With The Most Conservative And Liberal Students (2024) appeared first on Above the Law.

The country has never been more divided politically, and whether they’re strongly in favor of President Biden’s candidacy or adamantly opposed to him and cheering on former President Trump in the upcoming election, people have been inspired to go to law school as a means to somehow change our country’s future.

As our readers know, the latest Princeton Review law school rankings are out, and today, we’ll be focusing on what are perhaps the most important rankings of them all: the law schools with the most conservative students and the law schools with the most liberal students. During these times of political division and strife, why not attend a law school where there’s a high likelihood that your classmates will share your political ideology?

It’s worth noting that the majority of these law schools are in Southern states.

According to Princeton Review, these are the law schools with the most liberal students:

Northeastern University School of Law (no change)
City University of New York School of Law (no change)
New York University School of Law (no change)
University of California Berkeley School of Law (ranked #5 last year)
University of Colorado School of Law (ranked #7 last year)
University of California Irvine School of Law (ranked #8 last year)
American University Washington College of Law (ranked #4 last year)
Boston University School of Law (unranked last year)
University of San Francisco School of Law (unranked last year)
University of California Los Angeles School of Law (ranked #6 last year)

It’s worth noting here that the majority of these law schools are on either the East or West coasts, and three of them are T14 institutions.
