In The Princeton Review's annual list of the best law schools, student voters commended the University of Colorado Law School for its intellectually challenging environment, abundant experiential learning opportunities, accessibility of faculty, and more.

Based on a survey of 19,700 law students, law schools received a rating between 60 and 99 on factors such as academic experience, accessibility of professors, and career opportunities (based on students’ confidence in their school’s ability to lead them to quality employment opportunities and school-reported statistical data). Colorado Law received a score of 90 for academic experience, 85 for professor accessibility, and 93 for career opportunities.

Students also noted that Colorado Law’s picturesque location in Boulder and the positive atmosphere created by its administration and faculty encourages students to find a balance between work and life.

“These rankings reflect Colorado Law’s commitment to our students’ success by providing them with a top-notch legal education, outstanding opportunities to develop practical skills through real-world clinical and practical experience, and an exceptionally supportive community with a high quality of life,” said Dean Phil Weiser.

The Princeton Review surveyed 19,700 students attending 173 law schools across the country that met the Princeton Review’s criteria for academic excellence. The 80-question survey asked students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their experiences at them.
