NOTES: Enrollment is in American Bar
Association-approved schools as of October 1. The LSAT test year begins in June and ends
in February of the following year. J.D. or LL.B. degrees are those awarded by approved
schools for the academic year ending in the first year stated. Total new admissions to the
bar include those admitted by office study, diploma privilege, and examination and study
at an unapproved law school. The great bulk of those admitted were graduated from approved
schools.
1 Total overall enrollment includes post-J.D. and other.
2 The District of Columbia School of Law is not included in this figure.
3 Roger Williams not included.
4 This number includes Oral Roberts University, Coburn School of Law, which terminated its
program effective June 1, 1986. However, the Council advised it to retain degree-ranting
authority for those former students who completed satisfactorily 30 additional hours in
ABA-approved law schools by Sept, 1, 1988.
5 Data was not complete for these years, thus figure is lower than prior years.
6 Stanford enrollment not included.
