If you\u2019re considering applying to law school, one of the things you may want to consider in your search is finding a place where diversity is embraced, including among its faculty.<\/p>\n

As our readers know, the latest Princeton Review law school rankings are out, and today, we\u2019ll focus on a category that\u2019s important for students who are looking for an institution that shares their values when it comes to diversity and inclusion: The law schools with the most diverse faculty.<\/p>\n

Which schools do you think rose to the top of this ranking?<\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll begin with the methodology Princeton Review used to determine which law schools have the most diverse faculty. This ranking was based on both school-reported data \u2014 the percent of law school faculty from an underrepresented minority group \u2014 and student surveys, specifically, their answers to a survey question on whether the faculty comprises a broadly diverse group of individuals.<\/p>\n

Per\u00a0Princeton Review<\/a>, these are the law schools with the most diverse faculty:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law (ranked #5 last year)<\/li>\n
  2. University of Miami School of Law (ranked #8 last year)<\/li>\n
  3. City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law (ranked #1 last year) <\/li>\n
  4. Loyola University New Orleans School of Law (ranked #2 last year)<\/li>\n
  5. Florida International University College of Law (ranked #7 last year)<\/li>\n
  6. UC Davis School of Law (ranked #3 last year)<\/li>\n
  7. Southern University Law Center (ranked #4 last year)<\/li>\n
  8. UCLA School of Law (unranked last year)<\/li>\n
  9. University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law (ranked #6 last year)<\/li>\n
  10. UC Irvine School of Law (unranked last year)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
