From Dean Dan - March 23, 2018

Earlier this week we learned UNLV Boyd Law ranked 59th out of 194 accredited law schools in the US News & World Report 2019 law school rankings. We moved up three spots from last year, and this marks our highest ranking ever. Additionally, we are delighted that our Lawyering Process program ranked first in the nation among legal writing programs, and our Saltman Center for Dispute Resolution ranked tenth nationally. Our part-time program continues to climb and is now ranked 17th in the country.
