US Law Schools Directory
US Law Schools are among the most prestigious law schools in the world. They provide students with access to internships, international programs, clinics, competitions, centers, law reviews, journals, and numerous opportunities. Harvard Law School in Massachusetts, Yale Law School in Connecticut, Columbia Law School in New York, and Duke Law School in North Carolina are all popular and challenging US law schools.
In the first year of law school, students usually cover an overview of areas including: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Property, Torts, Legal Research and Legal Writing. After the first year, US law schools give students the chance to focus on fields of their choice like Corporate Law, Intellectual Property Law, and Tax Law. Students of ABA (American Bar Association) schools must also take a professional responsibility course, as well as a writing course.
ABA schools are the US law schools that are accredited by the American Bar Association. They are the country’s best law schools. Non-ABA schools, on the other hand, are either accredited by the state or not accredited at all. They are not as reputable as the ABA schools. California, known for its top ABA schools like UC Berkeley Boalt Hall Law School and Stanford Law School, is the state with the most non-ABA schools in the United States. While some other states do not allow non-ABA schools to take their bar examination, California’s bar examination is open to ABA and non-ABA schools alike. In general, students from ABA-accredited US law schools perform better on bar exams than students from non-ABA schools.
