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

And citing TLS poasters as authoritative sources?Fish127 wrote:Nobody considers maybe the OP is just curious or writing a paper or something?
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.ymmv wrote:And citing TLS poasters as authoritative sources?Fish127 wrote:Nobody considers maybe the OP is just curious or writing a paper or something?
Based on most recent available incoming class profile (according to non-scientific Internet hunting/googling), of the top 50 law schools:cusenation wrote: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
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).dudders wrote:Based on most recent available incoming class profile (according to non-scientific Internet hunting/googling), of the top 50 law schools:cusenation wrote:my guess is that you won't find any.

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

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.

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!Dream_weaver32 wrote:Thought maybe this was a female asking so she could look at schools, but the OP is a guy.

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.
