Some see the legal profession as more of a “calling” than simply a job. For more religious would-be law students, faith is of such importance that they may seek it out in their legal educations. If you’re searching for an institution where spirituality is as important as the law, then have we got a ranking for you.
The National Jurist’s preLaw Magazine recently released its Most Devout Law Schools ranking, highlighting the schools that are really doing their homework when it comes to incorporating matters of faith into their teaching of the law. For the second time in the history of this ranking, the schools are being presented in a single ranking, as opposed to separate rankings of the best law schools by denomination.
Here’s the methodology that was used:
The Most Devout Honor Roll is based on information gathered from law schools and other sources, including the percentage of students and faculty who belong to the faith; the number of religion-focused courses and other ways the school incorporates faith into its curriculum; religion-related journals, centers and clinics; religious services and clergy at the law school; and the mission of the law school.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 most devout law schools:

Congratulations to each of the law schools listed!
