UC Davis School of Law Places 29th in U.S. News Rankings

Reaffirming UC Davis School of Law's place among the nation's top law schools, the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings placed it 29th among the almost 200 American Bar Association-approved law schools.  Having graduated its first class in 1969, UC Davis is the youngest law school ever to have been ranked in the top 25.  The ranking at 29 represents the first time Davis has made three consecutive appearances in the 20-29 range. 

"Although it is important not to place undue emphasis on rankings, it is gratifying to once again be among the nation's top schools," said Dean Kevin R. Johnson.  "UC Davis School of Law has made great strides, with the expansion and renovation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Hall, the recruitment and retention of superstar faculty, enrollment of excellent students, and the launch of new academic programs and international partnerships," Johnson added.  "Great things are happening at UC Davis School of Law."
