2023 Law Schools Tuition & Fees

Compare All Law Schools

Law schools are nationally accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) and graduates of these schools may generally sit for the bar exam in any state. In addition, individual state legislatures or bar examiners may maintain a separate accreditation system which is open to non-ABA accredited schools. In this page, however, only ABA accredited law schools are listed and included for the analyze. Admission and tuition data of the most of those schools are reported to IPEDS. Currently, there are 202 ABA accredited law schools.
