IU McKinney Named a Top 5 Midwest Law School by "Lawyers of Color" Magazine
10/16/2014
The magazine “Lawyers of Color” has named the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law to its issue titled "The Black Law Student's Guide to Law Schools" 2014 edition. It is the second edition of the guide, which examines job placement rates for graduates, as well as percentages of black students and faculty in determining its rankings. (Turn to page 36 for the story that features IU McKinney.)
Operating under the premise that “law school students are best served when they attend law schools in regions where they would like to work,” the magazine calls the law schools that made its listing “highly-regarded,” and “excellent institutions” that produced graduates “well positioned to have successful legal careers without the burden of excessive loan debt.”
IU McKinney made the top five list for the Midwest region, among schools from Illinois, Ohio and Missouri.
“I do like being in this company,” said Dean Andrew R. Klein. “It’s another reflection of how we are garnering recognition in areas that we emphasize – access to legal education (Top 20 U.S. News & World Report for part-time programs), value proposition (Top quarter of all law schools in the National Jurist’s “Best Value Law Schools”), diversity (noted by Lawyers of Color magazine), health law (Top 10 U.S. News & World Report specialty), skills training (Top 10 U.S. News & World Report for legal research and writing), and the list goes on. We have a lot to be proud of here.”
