Rutgers Law School's remarkable one-year, 30-place improvement in a well-known national ranking of graduate schools reflects the Law School's extraordinary faculty and leadership, as well as the leadership of Chancellors Phoebe Haddon and Nancy Cantor at RU-Camden and RU-Newark, respectively. Rutgers University merged its two law schools in 2015, maintaining distinct locations in Newark and in Camden. This is only the second time the school has been ranked as a single entity and reflects the University's increasing prominence.
