Regent Law Ranked Among Nation’s Best Value Law Schools

October 20, 2025

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (October 20, 2025) – Regent University School of Law tied for No. 22 on preLaw Magazine’s Best Value list. In a field of nearly 200 ABA-approved law schools, this result signals continued strong performance in a highly competitive market. Among private institutions, Regent Law is tied for No. 4, standing with nationally recognized peers such as Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Southern Methodist.

“We work to maximize value for every student,” said S. Ernie Walton, interim dean of Regent Law, “and we aim for strong outcomes through careful stewardship, expert mentorship, and a Christian community that forms them for the practice of law.”

preLaw’s Best Value ranking weighs employment outcomes and bar passage against overall cost.

This recognition follows Regent Law’s debut in the U.S. News Top 100 at No. 94 (2025–26) and continued national marks for professor accessibility and teaching quality by Princeton Review.
