With recent data published by the Department of Education, Law School Transparency compiled and analyzed law school graduates' median law school debt and their median earnings in the year after graduation. Below, we have listed each law school ranked by highest to lowest earnings to debt ratio.

Note that the data reflects 2015 and 2016 law school graduates, and only those who borrowed money to attend law school. Four schools (Faulkner, Indiana Tech, UDC, and Vermont Law School) did not have data reported by the Department of Education and thus are not included in this list.

Note: a previous version of this blog included data compiled by Forbes, which we were later informed had several inconsistencies. Thus we have removed that list and replaced it with the above list based on the more complete, accurate data as compiled by Law School Transparency.
