The University of DC Law Earns Top Scores in The Princeton Review’s 2025 Law School Rankings

The University of DC Law Earns Top Scores in The Princeton Review’s 2025 Law School Rankings
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on August 04, 2025

The University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC Law) has once again earned national recognition, with top scores in three categories in The Princeton Review’s 2025 Best Law School rankings. Among 168 U.S. law schools considered by The Princeton Review, UDC Law was named:
• #1 Most Chosen by Older Students
• #2 Greatest Resources for Minority Students
• #9 Most Diverse Faculty

The rankings reflect student surveys as well as school data, underscoring the law school’s commitment to expanding access to high-quality legal education that meets the needs of its students, its community and the world.

“UDC Law stands proudly at the intersection of purpose and progress,” said Interim Dean Angela Gilmore. “We serve students who come to us from all walks of life, often bringing with them years of real-world experience and a shared passion for justice.



These rankings affirm our success and the extraordinary community we’ve built together.”

The school’s top ranking for “Most Chosen by Older Students” is based on the average age of entering students and the number of years students spent out of college before enrolling in law school. It reflects UDC Law’s unique appeal to mid-career professionals and nontraditional learners seeking the tools to make positive change under the law.

UDC Law also ranked #2 for “Greatest Resources for Minority Students,” a reflection of both school data and surveys, finding that students feel they are treated equally by their peers and instructors. The top ten ranking for “Most Diverse Faculty” further illustrates the school’s investment in building a faculty that mirrors its student body and the communities they will go on to serve.

“These rankings are a testament to the strength of UDC Law’s mission and the excellence of its faculty, students and alumni,” said UDC President Maurice D. Edington. “As the university prepares to celebrate the 175th anniversary of our founding, this recognition affirms our role as the flagship institution for the District and a model for urban higher education nationwide.”
