National Jurist‘s preLaw has a new honor roll for the “more than 35 law schools [that] are expanding access through admissions innovation, program design and community-centered pathways — strengthening justice through opportunity.” The “Justice & Opportunity Honor Roll recognizes law schools for leadership in expanding access to legal education.” As the introduction to the article explains: “The Honor Roll reflects leadership across four primary access models — geographic and rural access, mission-driven urban public access, admissions innovation and modality and design — showing how schools are opening the door in different but equally meaningful ways.”
The complete list is on the next page. Michelle Weyenberg et al., Law Schools Expanding Access Lead PreLaw’s Justice & Opportunity Honor Roll, The National Jurist, March 4, 2026.
