School of Law Earns Top Ranking by Hispanic Business Magazine
For the second year in a row, Hispanic Business magazine has named the UNM School of Law the top law school in the country for Hispanic students.
At the law school, Hispanics make up nearly one-third of the student body, Hispanic professors make up 26 percent of the faculty and 19 percent of the graduates are Hispanic. Such diversity led to the top ranking.
