TALLAHASSEE— The National Jurist magazine has ranked Florida State University College of Law the 10th “best value” law school in the nation. The ranking, published in the magazine’s September 2009 issue, considers tuition, employment rate and bar passage rate. 

The national ranking reflects Florida State Law’s strong student outcomes. Even in a down economy, 98 percent of the class of 2008 was placed within nine months of graduation. Florida State students also have had the best passage rate on the Florida Bar Exam four out of the last seven times it was administered. 

“It is exciting to be able to deliver academic excellence at relatively low cost,” said Dean Don Weidner.
