Class Standing and Grade Scale

STANDING

Beginning in the spring of 2023, the University of Nebraska College of Law does not make available students' class rank (except to those students in the top 12% of each class.) Instead, we provide tables relating grade averages to approximate position in the class. The tables are re-calculated at the conclusion of the Spring semester each year. See the table below.

The following table was produced on June 5, 2024.

If you are a student who has any question concerning how to express your class rank or standing in any application materials, please contact the Career Development Office. 

*2L students who have not completed 60 hours are not included in the class standing bands.
