Law School Memory Lane

Every ABA-accredited U.S. law school, 2011–2025 — walked one year at a time. Press play (or step through the years) to watch the landscape expand to its 202-school peak, then contract through a wave of closures, a teach-out, a lost accreditation, and one merger. Built from official ABA Standard 509 disclosures.

Prefer the raw data? This page has a text-and-table twin built for reading and for machines: the Markdown version lists every school, the per-year roll-up, and every closure and merger. See also the lifecycle timeline (reporting-span view), the closures & mergers explainer, and the full data blog. Note: 2026 is not shown — the 2025–26 ABA cycle publishes around December 2026, so the current year stays provisional until then.
