As law school tuition continues to rise and six-figure debt has become commonplace for newly minted J.D.-holders nationally, the University of Georgia School of Law has steadily reduced students’ debt loads over the past five years, thanks to a tuition freeze and increased financial aid from donor-funded scholarships.

“We are committed to providing world-class education in a way that not only prepares students for careers and helps place them in jobs, but also allows them to graduate without the burden of an unreasonable level of debt,” said UGA Law Dean Bo Rutledge in his latest Dean’s Report.
