If you are exploring your options for law school, the diversity of the faculty might be one of your key considerations. The Princeton Review's latest rankings highlight the institutions that excel in fostering an inclusive environment, particularly through their diverse faculty members.
This year’s rankings are based on a combination of school-reported data on the percentage of faculty from underrepresented minority groups and feedback from student surveys. Students responded to questions regarding the diversity of the faculty, offering insights into the real-world experiences within these academic environments.
According to the Princeton Review, the top law schools with the most diverse faculty in 2025 include:
1. University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law (previously ranked #5)
2. University of Miami School of Law (up from #8 last year)
3. City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law (last year's top school)
