Law School LGBT Survey Results

Every other year, LSAC surveys its member law schools to update information of importance to LGBT applicants. More than 150 law schools in the US and Canada responded to the 2012 survey. In the list of schools that follows, additional information can be accessed by clicking on any school name that appears as a link. If a school’s name does not have a link, it is because that school did not provide additional information.
