Selective public law schools can be pricey.
A few public law schools charge out-of-state tuition rates that are almost as expensive as selective private institutions like Harvard Law or Yale Law. While U.S. News data show that the average out-of-state rate for tuition and fees among public law schools was around $40,000 in 2017-2018, there are a few highly ranked public law schools with published prices that exceed $60,000.
