Top 10 Law Schools in the World
Have a desire to become a lawyer? Running out of options in the local area? Here are ten prestigious law schools in the world that you should apply to. When doing research, practically all of them were good. It was nearly impossible to find an equilibrium in them. But I did the ranking anyways and it goes like this.
10. University of Sydney
Sydney Law School is a law program at the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia. It was first established in 1855. In 2013, the QS World University Rankings placed the law school second in Australia and 10th in the world. It has almost 1,700 undergraduate students and 1,500 postgraduate students, and 100 research students. Its alumni include the current Prime Minister Tony Abbott and four previous Prime Ministers, two Governor Generals, nine Federal Attorneys-General, four Federal Opposition Leaders, and 23 Justices of the High Court. WOW!
9. Stanford University
Acceptance rate: 9.1%. 571 total law students. 93% of Stanford University students pass the bar exam on their first try.
Stanford Law School is known for its extremely low student-to-faculty ratio, with first-year classes counting approximately 180 students. The film “Legally Blond” was originally set at Stanford Law School, but Stanford did not approve of the script, so the setting was changed to Harvard law school.
8. Columbia University
Acceptance rate: 15.8. 1,332 total law students. 96% of Columbia University students pass the bar exam on their first try
Columbia Law alumni include 2 presidents of the United States, 9 Supreme Court justices, and more members of the Forbes 400 than any other law school. In 1988, Columbia Law School founded the first AIDS Law Clinic in the United States.
7. London School of Economics and Political Science (Previously London School of Economics (LSE))
The London School of Economics and Political Science is a public research university in London, England. It was founded in 1895 by the Fabian Society members. It first issued degrees to its students in 1902. The school has many notable alumni in different departments, including law, and they include 16 Noble Prize winners.
6. University of Toronto
The University of Toronto Law School is consistently ranked no.1 in Canada. Graduates from the law program are attractive to Bay Street hiring. They have well respected faculty and are conveniently located downtown. Entering class at UofT has a median LSAT in the 96 percentile. The total enrolment is around 600 students and there is a 10:1 student/faculty ratio, the best in North America, which is only matched by Yale University. 50% of the students are female! Approximately 30% of the student body is Aboriginals.
