Notable Achievements

  • Princeton Review's 2008 publication of The Best 170 Law Schools ranked the University of St. Thomas School of Law No. 2 in the nation for "Best Quality of Life" among students. The 2008 ranking follows back-to-back No. 1 rankings in the same category for the previous two years.
  • The March 2008 issue National Jurist Magazine listed the University of St. Thomas School of Law seventh nationally for the percent of students going into public interest law.
  • This year the School of Law was again ranked in the third tier by U.S. News and World report.  The School of Law’s scores improved in Peer Assessment, Assessment Score by Lawyers/Judges, Undergraduate GPA, and LSAT score. 
  • In 2008 the School of Law reached the $90 million mark for a fundraising total.  This money has allowed us to establish endowed professorships, and chairs, and to provide financial aid for our students.  The School of Law is well on its way to the endowment goal of $100 million.
  • Broadly supported by its university and community, the University of St. Thomas School of Law has achieved remarkable success in its relatively brief life. Blessed with experienced and respected administrative leadership, an active and productive faculty, well credentialed and motivated students, a beautiful new building, and the strong financial support and influence of its parent university, the School of Law is well positioned to move into the upper echelons of legal educations."

    We agree with the ABA Site team. The milestones we've reached in our relatively brief life have indeed been "remarkable."
