List of All ABA-Accredited Law Schools (by State)

A complete, neutral list of the ABA-accredited (ABA-approved) law schools in the United States, organized by state. Each entry shows the school's location and whether it is public or private; every school grants the Juris Doctor (J.D.). Informational only — not a ranking. Sources: ABA, IPEDS.

What “ABA-accredited” means

An ABA-accredited (also called ABA-approved) law school is one that meets the standards of the American Bar Association’s Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, the accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. In almost every U.S. jurisdiction, graduating from an ABA-approved law school is a requirement to sit for the bar examination.

Every school in this directory grants the Juris Doctor (J.D.), the standard professional law degree in the United States, typically completed in three years of full-time study. Schools are classified here as public or private based on the control of the parent institution.
