- The College of Law has been ranked among the top 20 Best Value law schools in the nation by The National Jurist magazine. The magazine looks at a number of academic and financial variables, including tuition, student debt accumulation, bar passage rate, cost of living, and employment. UT Law’s jump to the top 20 is due in large part to the college’s increased employment rate, which accounts for 35 percent of each school’s Best Value ranking.
