UGA Law ranked as the nation’s Best Value Law School

Dear alumni and friends,

The University of Georgia School of Law has once again been named the nation’s Best Value in legal education. I am proud to say that the School of Law has occupied this top position an extraordinary six times in the last nine years – 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024, and now again in 2026.

Our dominance in this ranking reflects our law school’s continued focus on matching excellence with access. Some key indicators leading to this sustained level of success include:

96.47% Class of 2025 in Full Credit Employment Outcomes
97.62% Class of 2023 Ultimate Bar Passage Rate (and recently ranked #6 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for this metric)
Lowest tuition of the Top-30 law schools ranked by U.S. News & World Report
56% of students did not take out an educational loan (2025-26)
84% of students received grants and scholarships (2024-25)
100% of veterans and first-gen college graduates in J.D. class received aid for the sixth straight year
More than $1.6M awarded in summer fellowships since 2022

Additionally, we are proud to be national leaders in federal judicial clerkships (#9), mock trial (#5) and moot court (#9).

The law school’s strong record of achievement is thanks to the steadfast support we receive from so many: the UGA administration, under the leadership of UGA President Jere W. Morehead (J.D.’80); our dedicated faculty and staff; our talented students; and you – our alumni and friends.

Thank you for all you do for the School of Law and for helping us once again to be the nation's best return on investment in legal education! Go Dawgs!

Sincerely,

Usha R. Rodrigues
Dean, University Professor &
Kilpatrick Chair of Corporate Finance and Securities Law
