The 2026 rankings are starting to appear, including the Times Higher Education, QS World University, and PublicLegal-ILRG’s rankings. As with all rankings, there are limitations, anomalies, and they emphasize or focus on different areas.
On the next page, are the top 25 rankings for the Times Higher Education Best Law Schools in the U.S. – 2026 Rankings, the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026: Law & Legal Studies, and the PublicLegal – ILRG’s 2026 Rankings (Standard Rankings from ABA Data). For the QS rankings, you can sort by the 2026 year, but usually the official data comes out in March. On the third page are some alternative rankings that have come out in recent years focused on different topics and links to various approaches.
