Top Law Schools by Specialty Area

I was surfing through google and found a site that had a list of top law schools based on specialty areas. Although the list is from 2002-3, it is pretty useful.

For example, I am planning on studying law and literature,
According to leiterrankings, the best schools for that area is Cardozo Law School (never heard of it), Stanford University, and University of Michigan. The site gives you a list of "Excellent" schools and "Also Strong" schools.

I am also interested in corporate law.
Excellent: Columbia University, Harvard University, New York University, Stanford University, University of Chicago, University of Virginia, and Yale University.

Here are the list of specialties:

  • Administrative ad environmental law
  • Business law areas: corporate, securities, commercial law, bankruptcy, etc.
  • Constitutional Law
  • Criminal Law and procedure
  • Critical race theory
  • Feminist legal theory
  • Health law
  • Health law--bioethics
  • International law
  • Intellectual property
  • Jurisprudence/legal philosophy
  • Labor and employment law
  • Law and literature
  • Law and religion
  • Law and social science
  • Legal ethics
  • Legal history
  • Moral and political theory
  • Tax


Here's the link to the website: lieterrankings (the links to take you to the list of schools don't work, but the all the lists are on that page so use ctrl+f to find the list you want.)

What specialties are you interested in?
