LSD.Law updated their “revealed preference” rankings for law schools as of September 3, 2026. The 2026 law school rankings compare 198 ABA-accredited law schools using LSD.Law cross-admit data (the entering credential medians appear to be from 2025). As described in their methodology:
LSD.Law’s rankings are built from real cross-admit enrollment decisions. When an applicant is admitted to two schools and chooses one, that choice incorporates career placement, scholarship, location, and fit considerations specific to their case. Aggregated across 145,000+ such decisions, these revealed preferences produce a ranking grounded in applicant behavior.
You can find the top thirty schools listed on the next page described by LSD.law as “[e]very law school, ranked by where applicants actually go.”
