U.S. News Ranks Alabama School of Law Among Top Law Schools for Salary-Debt Ratio

November 4, 2016

The University of Alabama School of Law is ranked 2nd among 10 law schools where starting salaries exceed debt, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The magazine compiled a list of the 10 law schools where the salary-debt ratio was highest among 2014 graduates. Unranked law schools, which do not submit enough data for U.S. News to calculate a rank, were not considered for the list.

UA Law has kept tuition low, helping to ensure its graduates leave with less debt than they might at comparable law schools.
