preLaw magazine will be releasing its 2010 rankings of top 20 best value law schools in its Fall publication due out in October, reports the National Jurist.  The publication identified 60 institutions as providing the best law school value for the law school buck.

The 2010 report marks a few firsts for the preLaw rankings. It is the first time indebtedness has been taken into account. And, it is the first time the study has been done in consecutive years.

With the criteria it makes sense that the majority of the honorees are public schools. However, 11 of the 60 total are of the private variety.

In the meanwhile…

While you patiently count down the days until the October publication, you’ll be relieved to know that preLaw did reveal the names of all 60 schools it recognized as best value law schools.  So while you wait to see the top 20 rankings, below are a few that caught our eyes.
