Submissions Open for 2025’s Law School Innovation Program

Submissions are now open for Bloomberg Law’s 2025-2026 Law School Innovation Program.

About the Program

The annual program highlights how law schools are transforming legal education. Measuring the success of a law school is more than just prestige metrics. It’s about how law schools are preparing the next generation of attorneys to be practice-ready. The 2025-2026 program, which will benchmark and compare data from law schools across the country, places a greater emphasis this year on quantitative metrics, as well as skills-based teaching and technology integration.

Criteria to Apply

All ABA-accredited U.S.-based law schools are eligible to participate in the survey, which will serve as the basis for the benchmark report.

Data Collection Requirements

Bloomberg Law encourages law schools to provide data for as many questions as possible to give the fullest picture of their institution. However, to be included in the full benchmark, schools are required to disclose the number of skills-based and core foundational courses, as well as standard metrics like the number of students, faculty who teach law students, average exam scores, and total graduates. However, each school has the discretion to decide the number of questions within the submission form it chooses to answer and the data to disclose.

Deadline

All data must be submitted by Friday, Nov. 21.

How to submit data

Please request a unique link to upload your school’s data here. One link per school will be provided to ensure one valid response per institution; however, multiple people can work together on the submission. If you would like additional information before requesting your link, please email submissions@bloombergindustry.com.

Is there a cost to participate?

Like all of our survey and ranking programs, participation and inclusion in this benchmark and the resulting report are free and open to qualifying participants.
