Wayne State University Law School has once again been recognized as a Best Value Law School by The National Jurist and its sister publication, preLaw magazine. This is the eighth year in a row that Wayne Law made the list, with the school rising to No. 22 overall. Of the 59 law schools included, Wayne Law was the top-ranked Michigan law school.
The ranking is designed to recognize law schools where graduates have excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a legal job without taking on a ton of debt, according to publication. Criteria for selection includes ultimate bar pass rating and two-year pass rate, employment rate, tuition, cost of living and average student debt accumulation.
In addition, preLaw magazine recognized Wayne Law among the top law schools in the categories of Business Law and Criminal Law. Wayne Law was also named among the top law schools in the Human Rights Law category in preLaw magazine's Back to School 2021 edition.
