College of Law Ranked Among Top 20 Best Value Law Schools in the United States

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 27, 2014) — In the recent back-to-school issue of Pre Law Magazine, the University of Kentucky College of Law ranked third among the nation's top 20 Best Value Law Schools, which is a move up from seventh place last year.

Best Value Law Schools recognition is based on a combination of bar passage rates, employment rates, debt load, and tuition.

“The University of Kentucky College of Law is pleased to be ranked in the Pre-Law Magazine’s Best Value Law Schools,” said David A. Brennen, dean of the UK College of Law. “We believe our rigorous academics and nationally renowned faculty contribute greatly to our students’ success. Our location in Kentucky makes us an excellent choice for students interested in a law school located at the intersection of the South and Midwest.”

The UK College of Law was founded in 1908 and its Kentucky Law Journal is the 10th oldest student-run law review in the nation. The College of Law offers a Juris Doctor and four dual degree programs and is proud to have produced many of Kentucky’s leaders and outstanding lawyers making a difference in the Commonwealth.
