What You Need to Know
- Columbia Law graduates topped the list of having the highest median income net of their college debts.
- The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and University of Chicago Law School trailed Columbia, in second and third.
- Graduates of the 33 lowest-ranking law schools earn less than $55,000 net of debt four years after graduation.
While it is well-known that most law school graduates will earn a large paycheck, a new study explores whether the amount of debt accrued makes the degree worth it, ranking law schools based on the amount their graduates earn after subtracting the average amount spent on loan repayment.
