Political Viewpoints

<p>What are some of the most conservative law schools? The most liberal?</p>

<p>Most law school faculty are liberal as is with case with most universities throughout the nation. Law students as a group, however, depends based on region and varies with other demographics. One interesting aspect of law students (and lawyers) is that there is a slightly higher percentage of introverts in law school than in the general population. I'm not sure how that plays with the conversative/liberal analysis, but it is interesting, none the less. </p>

<p>Whether a law school is "converative" or "liberal" is usually irrelevant except for minor things such as course selection. I know of at least one law school that requires its students to take a course in environmental law. Enivornmental law is largely irrelevant to most attorneys who do not practice environmental law. To give environmental law the status of a required course reflects a political view rather than an approach to prepare students for the legal world they will most likely encounter.</p>

<p>If you are wondering, find out the percentage of students in the Federalist Society and the American Constitutional Society at each school. Fed Soc is the conservative/libertarian group, and ACS is the liberal group. </p>

<p>Even the more conservative law schools will have their fair share (read: about half) of their students who have liberal viewpoints.</p>

<p>Princeton Review (<a href="http://www.princetonreview.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princetonreview.com&lt;/a&gt;) offers a rough idea of who leans to the right and who leans left.</p>
