• This year all the Top 10  Whitest Law Schools  are over 90% white.  In fact, half of the Top Ten Whitest Law Schools are over 93.2% white. If you consider these schools to be national schools (recruiting and admitting students from all over the United States), than they all are well over the 68.1% white LSAC application pool.

• While it  might be expected that many of the Top 10 Whitest Law Schools  would be from states or regions that had very few minorities (such as University of Maine),  in fact, half the Top 10 Whitest Law Schools are in the south which has a significant minority population.

• Only Maine (-.59%) has fewer whites in the school than in its state law school age population (ages 21 to 39). However, since all schools assert that they are national or regional schools, Maine was left on the Top Ten list because the New England Region has  83.93% whites between 21-39 years old . Thus, Maine has 10% more white students than white population 21-39 years old in the New England Region.

• Excess whiteness is striking in three Top Ten Whitest Law Schools: The University of Alabama, University of Richmond and University of South Carolina. In each of these schools, the schools have over 25% more white law students than white population 21 to 39 years old in the state. (See Below)

• Six of the Top Ten Whitest Law Schools are public schools. All the schools except Maine are over-serving their white population.  South Carolina has the highest excess total whiteness, with 28.67% more white law students than white population 21-39 years old  in the state. Significant excess whiteness in law school raises questions about how well these tax support schools are meeting their obligation to all the citizens of their respective state. (See Below)

• Most Top Ten Whitest Law Schools are 3rd tier schools; that is there are no 1st tier school and only one 4th tier school.

• Kentucky is the only state to have two law schools in the Top 10 Whitest Law Schools.
