Texas A&M University School of Law has broken into the ranks of the top 100 law schools in the U.S. News & World Report, reaching a goal that university officials set in 2012 when they bought the law school.
When A&M announced it would take over Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, A&M President R. Bowen Loftin told Texas Lawyer he would move aggressively to bring it into at least tier-2 status in the publication’s rankings of the top 100 law schools nationwide. Touchdown! Texas A&M Law landed at No. 92, which is up from No. 111 last year. Law schools ranked between 1 and 50 are considered tier 1, while ranks between 51 and 100 are tier 2.
