Politics Concept left right centerThe country continues to be incredibly divided politically, and whether people are strongly in favor of President Joe Biden’s policies or adamantly opposed to them and cheering on Brandon, people have been inspired to go to law school as a means to somehow change our country’s future. Luckily, there’s a law school out there for just about everyone, whether they’re super conservative or ultra liberal.

But what about those who don’t lean to the left or to the right in their political beliefs? As it turns out, there are law schools out there for them too.

A new ranking for law school politics come to us from preLaw magazine, and after reviewing two prior studies, it has grouped law schools into one of five categories: very conservative, conservative, moderate, liberal, and very liberal. Here’s the methodology that preLaw used:

The two studies — “The Political Ideologies of American Lawyers” and “The Legal Academy’s Ideological Uniformity” — looked at the political ideologies of alumni (in 2016) and professors (in 2018), then ranked schools on an ideological continuum. The survey, by The Princeton Review, asked students to rate their schools on a similar liberal-to-conservative continuum. We compiled the results of these studies and, including anecdotal evidence as well, categorized the 193 schools for which we felt we had enough data.

We’ve delved into the most liberal and most conservative law schools in the past, so today, we’re going to take a look at the law schools that find themselves at the center of political debates. Like the Goldilocks of law school politics, they’re not too liberal, they’re not too conservative — they’re juuuuust right. Although more than 30% of the U.S. population identifies as moderate, just 11.9% of law schools fall into that political category.

Without further ado, according to preLaw, these are the law schools that moderates may want to consider (in alphabetical order):

Campbell University
Capital University
Chapman University
Indiana U. Indianapolis
Loyola New Orleans
Mercer University
Northern Kentucky
Ohio Northern University
Oklahoma City University
Pepperdine Caruso
South Texas College of Law
SMU Dedman
St. Mary’s University
Stetson University
Texas A&M University
University of Dayton
University of Kentucky
University of Memphis
University of Oklahoma
University of South Carolina
University of South Dakota
University of St. Thomas – Minnesota
University of Wyoming

Some of these law schools are a bit suspect (e.g., “Coups 4 Dummies” author John Eastman used to serve as dean at Chapman) but when out searching for a political figment of prospective law students’ imaginations, it’ll have to do.
