Law schools with female majority? Forum

[gatesome]

What are some top-50 law schools with 50%+ female student body?

[McAvoy]

There is no reason that this should be relevant to any prospective law student, ever.

[DoveBodyWash]

my guess is that you won't find any. But if you really wanted to find out you could just go look up their demographics one by one

[fratstar1]

Northeastern is like 60% or something.

Not top fitty tho

Yale is 51% women.

Thought maybe this was a female asking so she could look at schools, but the OP is a guy. Law school isn't the place to try and find women lol

[Dream_weaver32]

But as for an answer,Berkeley is 58% women.

Shouldn't make any difference.

I agree

Nobody considers maybe the OP is just curious or writing a paper or something?

And citing TLS poasters as authoritative sources?

Lol no, I mean maybe he/she was looking to be pointed in the right direction. Everybody saying that the M/F ratio shouldn't be a factor in attending LS is kind of common sense. I wouldn't find it as irritating if some of the unsolicited opinions actually came with a real answer to the OP's question.

Boalt: 58% womyn

Raw data for recent years is here (not percentage, unfortunately):

Based on most recent available incoming class profile (according to non-scientific Internet hunting/googling), of the top 50 law schools:
- 8 are majority female (50% or greater) (Yale, Berkeley, GW, William & Mary, BU, UNC, Tulane, Maryland) (all between 50 and 58%)
- 1 is 50/50 (Boston College)
- 41 are majority male

However, it should be noted that all but FOUR of those 41 have a student body between 40 and 50 percent female. And, unless you're talking about a huge law school (of which there are only a few), each percentage point represents only 1-3 people (on average). That also means numbers can change pretty dramatically from year to year but maybe only represent a disparity that equals 15-20 people.

The four schools with less than 40% women were Indiana (39%), Utah (39%), Arizona (36%), and BYU (34%).

Yale 51%

ps I agree gender breakdown should matter ZERO to 0Ls. i was a curious feminist (and I'm bored right now because football's on).

Thank you very much for your comprehensive and detailed reply.

The other posters in this thread were derailed by irrelevant assumptions.

[Mack.Hambleton]

Well what are you using this data for then

[whitespider]

When searching for new medians, I noticed Northeastern is 59% women for their new class.

Don't know why it matters, but there ya go...

[03152016]

op, something about your posts gives me a hunch that your utilizing this information won't produce the intended effect

[PDaddy]

There is no reason that this should be relevant to any prospective law student, ever.

Thought maybe this was a female asking so she could look at schools, but the OP is a guy. Law school isn't the place to try and find women lol

TITCR! If OP wants to look for women he should concentrate on the populations of the universities at-large...just about all are majority women. As for the cities in which they are located? Majority women there, too!

Women outnumber men by a lot, so I don't know why anyone would be concerned that there won't be enough women - and you certainly can never have too many.

The hottest women typically don't go into law, even though law schools certainly have a few of them. Anyone scouting law schools for attractive, easy-going women (OP may not be looking for either quality) is misdirecting his energy. The women in law schools are arguably more gunnerish than the men; they really have something to prove. That isn't very sexy.

But if OP wants to find Hillary Clinton, far beit from me to begrudge him his dream woman.

H is majority women for the first time this year.

You are really one of the worst posters.
