The
country
has
never
been
more
divided
politically,
and
whether
they’re
strongly
in
favor
of
President
Trump’s
policies
or
adamantly
opposed
to
them,
with
a
battle
for
the
rule
of
law
at
stake,
people
have
been
inspired
to
go
to
law
school
as
a
means
to
somehow
change
our
country’s
future.
As
our
readers
know,
the
latest
Princeton
Review
law
school
rankings
are
out,
and
today,
we’ll
be
focusing
on
what
are
perhaps
the
most
important
rankings
of
them
all:
the
law
schools
with
the
most
conservative
students
and
the
law
schools
with
the
most
liberal
students.
During
these
times
of
political
division
and
strife,
why
not
attend
a
law
school
where
there’s
a
high
likelihood
that
your
classmates
will
share
your
political
ideology?
Which
law
schools
do
you
think
came
out
on
top
of
these
lists?
First,
we’ll
begin
with
the
methodology
Princeton
Review
used
to
determine
which
law
schools
had
the
most
conservative
and
liberal
students.
A
single
question
was
asked
of
respondents
to
determine
the
political
bent
of
each
school’s
student
body:
“If
there
is
a
prevailing
political
bent
among
students
at
your
school,
how
would
you
characterize
it?”
Answer
choices
were:
“Very
Liberal,
Liberal,
Middle
of
the
Road,
Somewhat
Conservative,
Very
Conservative.”
Per
Princeton
Review,
these
are
the
law
schools
with
the
most
conservative
students:

It’s
worth
noting
that

these
law
schools
are
in
Southern
states.
According
to
Princeton

these
are
the
law
schools
with
the
most
liberal
students:

School

(ranked

last
year) -
University
of
Colorado
School
of

(ranked

last
year)
It’s
worth
noting
here
that
the
majority
of
these
law
schools
are
on
either
the
East
or
West
coasts,
and
three
of
them
are
T14
institutions.
Did
your
law
school
make
the
cut?
If
it
did,
do
you
think
it
was
ranked
fairly?
If
it
didn’t
make
the
list
for
having
the
most
conservative
or
liberal
students,
do
you
agree
with
that
assessment?
