IU McKinney Receives Top Marks from preLaw Magazine
12/14/2021
PreLaw Magazine’s back-to-school edition rated IU McKinney tops in three different areas: government, health law, and public service.
The law school received an A+ grade in health law from preLaw. The publication grades the nation’s health law programs based on the breadth of their curricular offerings, including opportunities such as externships, certificates, clinic experiences and student organizations.
The William S. and Christine S. Hall Center for Law and Health was established in 1987 to expand the curriculum and teaching of health law and provide opportunities for students. The Hall Center offers more than 30 health law-related courses as well as a Certificate in Health Law, six joint degrees in health-related fields, and a LL.M. in Health Law, Policy, and Bioethics. In addition to hosting a multitude of events, symposia and the annual Health Law Grand Rounds lecture series, the Hall Center publishes the Indiana Health Law Review.
IU McKinney received an A grade in human rights law as it did in 2020. The Program in International Human Rights Law, under the direction of Professor George Edwards, is actively involved in human rights. IU McKinney also is home to the Health and Human Rights Clinic, under the direction of Professor Fran Quigley, ’87.
The publication grades schools in the public service categories based upon the following criteria: employment, curricula related to the field, and debt repayment options. IU McKinney was ranked number 7 in the criminal law category with 28.8% of our alumni working in this area, and number 8 in the government category with 18.2% of our graduates choosing to work in this field.
