July 17, 2025 – The University of Houston Law Center is among the top 50 law schools in the country, according to recent rankings by Above the Law.
The school is up two ranks from last year, placing UHLC as 34th in the nation. The score is based on multiple factors, including job quality, employment rates, projected costs, and first-time bar passage. It is calculated using data collected last year from all 194 law schools approved by the American Bar Association.
“The ATL Top 50 Law School Rankings prioritize the one thing that really matters: outcomes,” the publication states on its website.
With nationally ranked programs in Health Law, Intellectual Property, Legal Writing and Part-Time Law, UHLC continues to be a leader in preparing practice-ready attorneys.
“This recognition by Above the Law affirms the amazing work from our faculty, students, and alumni,” said UH Law Dean Leonard M. Baynes. “It’s exciting to see our progress reflected in the rankings, and we remain focused on giving our students the tools they need to thrive in today’s legal world.”
