The Texas A&M School of Law has been soaring in the ranks, recently being named the 26th best law school in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. This achievement is a testament to the school's continuous growth since becoming a part of the Texas A&M University system in 2013, based in Fort Worth.
Exciting developments are also in store for the university's campus in downtown Fort Worth, as a new building is currently under construction. This physical expansion is just one indication of the university's progress in the academic world.
Chancellor John Sharp of the Texas A&M University System expressed his elation over the school's rapid rise in rankings. He shared, "When I first pursued acquiring this law school ten years ago, I never could have imagined that it would climb the ranks this quickly."
Law school Dean Bobby Ahdieh also chimed in, emphasizing their focus on creating the essential elements for a top-notch law school. Ahdieh stated, "Our hope is that these rankings accurately reflect the hard work and dedication we put into building an outstanding institution. And I believe they do." He continued, "Every year, we see more progress and improvement in our pursuit of becoming a top-quality institution. To know that there is substance behind our achievements is truly remarkable."
Ahdieh proudly shared that their law school boasts the highest graduate employment rate and the highest GPA among all incoming students in the nation. In addition, their students have a higher passing rate on the bar exam compared to any other law school in Texas. These impressive metrics are a reflection of the quality of education and support provided by the institution.
One shining example of the caliber of students that the university attracts is Danyelle Honoré. Originally from Virginia, Honoré earned her Bachelor's degree in African American and African Studies from the University of Virginia and her Master's degree in education from Harvard University. Her passion for civil rights law stems from her personal experiences with racial justice and her dedication to serving her community.
Honoré is also a part of the Marshall-Motley Scholars Program, which supports the next generation of civil rights lawyers in the South. This prestigious program offers full scholarships to scholars who commit to practicing civil rights law for the first eight years of their career in service of Black communities in the South. Despite having offers from top law schools like Harvard, Honoré chose the Texas A&M School of Law, citing the university's investment in her individual success and the law school's impressive growth as major factors in her decision.
Honoré, who is also the founder and CEO of the Honoré Foundation, a community service organization focused on children, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the university's journey. She shared, "From the very beginning, the administration showed their commitment to my personal growth and made me feel at home with their warm and personal approach." She added, "Seeing their vision for the law school come to life in such a remarkable way is something I am proud to be a part of."
