The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings validate the University of Georgia School of Law’s vision of being one of the best returns on investment in legal education.
"Coupled with our position as the #1 or #2 best value law school for the past five years, these most recent U.S. News rankings reaffirm UGA as Georgia’s highest-ranked law school, drawing on our strengths as a national leader in job placement, bar passage and low debt, including a guarantee of financial aid to all enrolled first-generation college graduates and veterans," Dean Peter B. "Bo" Rutledge said. "I would like to commend U.S. News for continuing to incorporate law school debt into its ranking methodology. Student debt drives conversations around the kitchen tables of families around this state and country, and it is a moral imperative for all law schools to take meaningful steps to tackle it."
