Some rankings measure law schools by their inputs, like how much money they spend, or the LSAT scores of their incoming students. At Wayne Law, we like to be measured by our outputs, such as the quality of scholarship produced by our faculty and, most significantly, the quality of our graduates. Our students are bright, mature, conscientious and altruistic. Our faculty members are superb teachers whose nationally and internationally recognized scholarship adds depth to our students' understanding of legal theory, doctrine and practice. This mixture of motivation and expertise has produced several generations of superb lawyers. We are proud of all of our alumni, who distinguish themselves as public servants, as leaders of the bar and as role models for our students." Following Wayne Law in this year's list of law school graduates are, in order: the University of Michigan Law School, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Harvard Law School, University of Notre Dame Law School, University of Toledo College of Law, Northwestern University School of Law, and Indiana University Maurer School of Law.
