Law School Ranks First Among Law Programs on New List of Military Friendly® Graduate Schools
William & Mary Law School ranks number one among law programs on the 2018-2019 list of Top 10 Military Friendly® Graduate Schools, Victory Media announced on April 4. The Law School ranks fifth overall among graduate schools on the new list that will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine. This is the third time in a row that the Law School has made the Top 10 list.“We are proud to once again receive this recognition and our efforts are inspired by the dedication and selfless service of the many veterans among our students, alumni, faculty and staff,” said Vice Dean Patricia Roberts, Professor of Law, Director of Clinical Programs, and Co-Director of the Lewis B. Puller, Jr. Veterans Benefits Clinic. “We hope this designation will encourage veterans who are considering law school to explore all that we have to offer at William & Mary.”
Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. For the first time, student survey data was taken into consideration for the designation. More than 1,400 schools participated in the 2018-2019 survey with 941 earning the designation.
