The University of Georgia School of Law is currently redefining what it means to be a great national public law school – one that matches excellence with access.
We measure our success by creating access and limiting debt while focusing on real-world outcomes like bar passage and graduate job placement.
Key indicators of success:
- 95% Class of 2024 Employed in Full Credit Employment Outcomes within 10 months of graduation (full-time, long-term, bar pass required/J.D. advantage jobs plus enrollment in graduate studies)
- #10 in the nation for federal judicial clerkships (U.S. News & World Report, 2025)
- 98.95% Class of 2022 Ultimate Bar Passage Rate (ranked 12th in the nation)
Counted among the Top 22 law schools in the country by U.S. News & World Report, we believe an affordable, high-quality legal education is essential to increasing the economic and social mobility of those we serve. Our goal is to prepare well-rounded, practice-ready leaders equipped to thrive wherever their careers take them.
