Following up on last month's post, Where the Fortune 500 CEOs Went to College: U.S. News & World Report, Where the Fortune 500 CEOs Went to Law School:
Of the 498 chief executive officers listed on the 2012 Fortune 500 list, 46 hold legal degrees. … (Two chief executive officers hold CEO positions at multiple Fortune 500 companies, which is why there are 498 rather than 500.)
Here is a ranking of the law schools with Fortune 500 CEO graduates (along with each school's U.S. News rank):
CEO Rank School (US News Rank) No. of CEO Grads 1 Harvard (3) 9 2 Columbia (4) 3 2 Virginia (7) 3 2 SMU (51) 3 5 Stanford (2) 2 5 Pennsylvania (7) 2 5 Georgetown (13) 2 5 UCLA (15) 2 5 Minnesota (19) 2 5 Notre Dame (22) 2 5 Fordham (29) 2 5 West Virginia (101) 2 13 Yale (1) 1 13 NYU (6) 1 13 Boston University (26) 1 13 North Carolina (38) 1 13 Loyola-L.A.
