About the data
Total Federal Investment is the amount cumulatively borrowed by law school graduates from a law school. These figures are generated using school-specific borrowing data from U.S. News & World Report, which relies on data reported to U.S. News by law schools, as well as graduate data from the American Bar Association. First-time bar passage data also come from the American Bar Association.
