2. Pursuing a JD is a noble endeavor - and
an admission into an elite school is
certainly the key to a successful career
in the field of law.
With an increasing amount of students enrolling in law school (nearly
40,000 graduating with their degree in 2015 alone), it is essential to
consider the different characteristics of the many schools which offer
a JD degree accredited by the American Bar Association before
deciding where to apply. After thorough studies conducted by US
News regarding reputation, LSAT scores, and job placement success,
the projected Top 5 Law Schools of 2018 are finally revealed:

3. Columbia
University
Columbia Law School, located in New
York City, New York, offers specific
programs to students seeking to
practice certain areas in law: such as
teaching careers or judicial clerkships. It
is also possible to pursue additional
master's and doctoral degrees through
programs at Columbia, including the
business school or Mailman's School of
Public Health.

4. University
ofChicago
The University of Chicago Law School
runs a bit unconventionally compared
to other top-tier law schools; it's
curriculum follows a unique quarter
schedule, consisting of three shortened
terms. Students at the University of
Chicago have the opportunity to earn a
joint master's degree during their law
studies, and there are a variety of
student organizations to become
involved in on campus.

5. Harvard
University
Harvard Law School, known for its
superior law degree, ranks third in the
2018 Top Law Schools. Located in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard
Law School is a three-year program
which immerses students into real-life
practice early on in their education,
requiring students to begin applying
their skills in "Student Practice
Organizations."

6. Stanford
University
Located in Stanford, California,
Stanford Law School ranks in as #2
Best Law School in the US in 2018. With
more than 25 joint degree options
offered, students at Stanford Law have
the ability to chart their own academic
course through a comprehensive three-
year education.

7. Yale University
Reining in first place on our list is the
world-renowned Yale Law School,
located in New Haven, Connecticut. At
this notoriously known, Ivy League law
school, education is re-framed by
completely eliminating grades; instead,
students are given the recognition of
honors, pass, low pass, credit, or failure.
There are no specific concentrations of
study at Yale University Law, and the
class sizes are small - usually consisting
of 20 students or less.
