Regent Law Earns Top National Rankings in The Princeton Review 2025 Best Law Schools Data

August 18, 2025

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (August 18, 2025) – Regent University School of Law has again achieved top national rankings in The Princeton Review’s Best Law Schools for 2025.

2nd (tie) in the nation for Professors Accessibility – score: 98/99
9th (tie) in the nation for Teaching Quality (“Professors Interesting”) – score: 97/99
39th (tie) in the nation for Career – score: 88/99
45th (tie) in the nation for Academic Experience – score: 91/99
2nd in the nation for Most Conservative Students

The Princeton Review does not provide an “overall” ranking to the 168 law schools included in the “Best Law Schools.” But Pepperdine Caruso School of Law Dean Paul L. Caron, on his TaxProf Blog, created such a ranking for the top 50 schools based on the five categories for which The Princeton Review provides individual law school data. Caron’s composite analysis places Regent Law tied for 43rd in the nation—alongside Tennessee, Ohio State, and Florida International—putting Regent ahead of schools such as Yale, George Mason, George Washington, and the University of Arizona.

“These results reflect the extraordinary dedication of our faculty and staff,” said S. Ernie Walton, interim dean of Regent Law. “Year after year, their commitment to excellence, innovation, and mentorship equips our students to become purpose-driven, practice-ready attorneys.”

The Princeton Review selected its 2025 Best Law Schools list from surveys of administrators at 168 law schools and students over the past three years, covering academics, faculty, career services, and campus culture. Regent Law has consistently placed among the top 10 nationally for both Teaching Quality and Professors Accessibility.
