It’s certainly a wild time to work in public health, but if you’re entering law school with dreams of working in health law, the legal profession sure could use the help right now.
The National Jurist’s preLaw magazine recently released its ranking of the best law schools for health law on its Health Law Honor Roll, highlighting schools for the strength of their programs. Here’s the methodology that was used:
preLaw magazine grades law schools based on the breadth of their curricular offerings. Scores are weighted as follows: 30% for a concentration, 24% for a clinic, 12% for a center, 12% for an externship, 9% for a journal, 8% for a student group, 5% for a certificate and added value for additional offerings.
Without further ado, according to preLaw Magazine, these are the law schools that earned A+ grades for their health law programs (listed in alphabetical order):
- American University
- Boston University
- Case Western Reserve U.
- Cleveland State University
- DePaul University
- Georgetown University
- Indiana McKinney
- Loyola University Chicago
- Mitchell Hamline School of Law
- Northeastern University
- University of Maryland
- University of Memphis
- University of San Francisco
- University of Wisconsin

Congratulations to all of the law schools that made the cut for this important ranking.
