FSU College of Law Ranked Nation's 3rd for Best Quality of Life and 6th for Best Professors

 

TALLAHASSEE — Florida State University College of Law has been ranked the nation’s third best law school for best quality of life and sixth best law school for best professors, as well as first in the country for greatest resources for women, and sixth for greatest resources for minority students. The selections for the 2024 list took into account data from surveys the company conducted in 2024 of administrators at 168 law schools as well as surveys over the past three academic years of 18,400 students enrolled at the schools. The quality of life ranking is based on student answers to survey questions about sense of community, whether differing opinions are tolerated in the classroom, school location, quality of social life, and research resources. The best faculty ranking is based on student answers to survey questions concerning the quality of professors as teachers and professor accessibility outside of the classroom.  

“We are thrilled to be ranked the nation’s third best law school in terms of student quality of life and sixth best in terms of our professors,” said Dean Erin O’Connor. “Students often tell us that our collegial atmosphere and the quality of our professors are their favorite things about FSU Law, so it is gratifying to be ranked among the nation’s top law schools in those areas. Providing our students with a positive, academically rigorous experience is key to their success in law school and beyond.”
