2027 Average Law School Tuition
The law school tuition is much higher than typical college program. The 2027 average law school tuition is $55,459 over 198 ABA-accredited law schools.
How Tuition Relates to Law School Rankings, LSAT Scores, and Acceptance Rates
As you can see, this is not the case for all, but the higher the tuition, the higher LSAT score and the lower acceptance rate. The average LSAT score is 168 over 40 law schools with tuition of $70K or higher. Moreover, the group's average acceptance rate is 19.63%. This may be obvious, but what is surprising is that top-ranked law schools not only require high LSAT scores and keep low acceptance rates, but they also require higher tuition & fees.
Law School Statistics by Tuition Range
The following table shows law school statistics by 2027 tuition range. You can find the correlation between tuition and other indicators for law schools. Follow the link in the range to see which schools are in the tuition range.
The tuition range is determined by the out-of-state tuition for public schools and the tuition for private schools. The actual cost of law school is lower than the tuition after receiving financial aid, and the amount of financial aid is generally proportional to the tuition.
For example, the average tuition after financial aid is down to $19,343 with $13,304 of grants/scholarships in schools with tuition range $30K - $35K, and $32,116 with $30,362 financial aid in tuition range $60K - $65K law schools.
