Over the past two election cycles, thousands of college graduates — and women in particular — have decided to go to law school. With the right to abortion officially overturned and reproductive freedom now resting in the hands of state governments, women have been even more inspired to study the law, perhaps in search of a way to reclaim the constitutional rights they once had that were so recently snatched away.

Which law schools do you think came out on top of this list?

First, we’ll begin with the methodology Princeton Review used to determine which law schools offer the greatest resources for women. This ranking was based on the percentage of the student body who identify as women as well as on student answers to a single survey question: Whether all students are afforded equal treatment by students and faculty regardless of their gender.
