Welcome to Law School Transparency
Making entry to the legal profession more transparent, affordable, and fair
LST is an award-winning 501(c)(3) non-profit that does consumer advocacy and public education about the legal profession. Since our founding in 2009, we have made an outsized impact on law schools and their accreditor, the American Bar Association. As a result of our work, more law schools are held accountable and prospective law students make more informed choices about whether and where to attend law school.
Your tax-deductible donation is essential to our continued efforts to provide public education about law schools and the legal profession, as well as improving law schools in a variety of ways.
