U.S. News & World Report ranks St. Mary’s most diverse among Texas law schools

U.S. News & World Report identified the St. Mary’s University School of Law as the most diverse law school among those listed in Texas, according to an index released today as part of its Best Graduate Schools 2016 guidebook.

The St. Mary’s University School of Law placed within the top 25 among law schools from across the nation included in U.S. News & World Report’s list of “The Most Diverse Law Schools.”

U.S. News & World Report set out to “identify law schools where students are most likely to encounter classmates from a different racial or ethnic group.”

Hispanic students are St. Mary’s Law’s largest minority group – 41 percent of students, according to the publication.

St. Mary’s enrolled the third-largest percentage of Hispanic students among the nation’s law schools. The other Texas law schools in the index ranged from 18 percent to 9 percent Hispanic.
