William Mitchell College of Law Profile

There's a lot we don't know about the numbers. This school has not shared its 2010 NALP report

Caution: William Mitchell College of Law has refused our repeated requests to make its Class of 2010 NALP Report available for public consumption. To show what this school chooses to hide, LST has created an imitation report when we have suitable data from other sources, including the ABA, U.S. News, and the school's website. (Sections that are shown in dark gray represent data the school possesses in its NALP report but has not shared.)

Schools receive these reports in June for the graduating class from the prior year. We strongly encourage accepted students to ask the school to release its complete NALP report before making a decision to attend. To view the reports we have obtained, please visit our NALP Report Database.
