In an article titled “What Law School Rankings Don’t Say About Costly Choices”, The National Law Journal ranks Regent Law School 15th in the nation for law schools offering half-to-full scholarships.Boasting a 92% employment rate 9 months after graduation (Class of 2007), a strong regional and national reputation, and a commitment to training students with the legal skills necessary for success, Regent Law School continues to attract students who think outside the box – both in the way they evaluate rankings and the way they eventually practice law.
