Most Devout Law Schools, preLaw (Winter 2025):
Acts of Service: We recognize 20 law schools that are living their missions through benevolent works. …
Every two years, preLaw magazine spotlights the country’s most devout law schools. Schools are ranked all together, rather than being categorized by denomination. … The schools are ranked by how much emphasis they place on religion in their curriculum, faculty and daily campus life.
While 46 of the nation’s 197 law schools have ties to various religious organizations, there are big differences among them when it comes to acting on their faith.
Methodology:
To determine the top 20, we gathered information from all the schools with religious affiliations and from other sources. We looked at the percentage of students and faculty who belong to the faith; the number of religion-focused courses and other ways the school incorporates faith into its curriculum; religion-related journals, centers and clinics; religious services and clergy at the law school; and the law school’s mission.
