Pitt Law has been recognized in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings in Law, ranking #32 among law schools in the United States, alongside peer institutions including Ohio State and Wisconsin, and moving into the Top 175 law schools in the world.
Pitt Law was the only school at the University of Pittsburgh to improve its position in the Times Higher Education rankings this year, with the rise driven largely by a strong Research Quality score that places the Law School among a small group of U.S. institutions with a growing global research footprint.
“Pitt Law’s rise in the rankings reflects a law school on a clear upward trajectory, with growing national and global recognition for the strength of our scholarship and research," said Dean Jerry Dickinson. "This recognition underscores our momentum as we continue building Pitt Law into a national and international powerhouse, grounded in academic excellence and a deeply practical, student-focused mission. Pitt Law is on the rise."
