#The 10 Most Underrated Law Schools - Bloomberg Business

There is a strong chance you have never heard of the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. The Raleigh, N.C. school is not prestigious enough to be ranked among U.S. News and World Report 's best law schools, and it enrolls only about 400 students at a time. Yet a new law school ranking suggests that most of us are probably underestimating Campbell.

Alfred Brophy, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, published a paper online on Sunday that grades law schools on just three measures of success. Brophy’s simple accounting looks at students’ employment outcomes, their median scores on the Law School Admission Test, and the number of citations that a school’s law review receives. By distilling the rankings down to these metrics, Brophy says he can get at the essence of a law school’s worth: how well it prepares its students for the profession they have chosen.

“What this ranking does is reveal how careful students need to be, especially in looking at employment outcomes,” says Brophy. “The job market is so incredibly competitive coming out of law school, you want to make sure you are going to the best school and getting the best value for your money.”

While it’s worth checking out Brophy’s entire list. you can find below the 10 schools that are most underrated. These schools jumped the most in Brophy’s rankings, compared to their spot in the U.S. News rankings.
