Law school class of 2022 may be ‘most diverse entering class in history,’ LSAC says

Relying on data from ABA Standard 509 Information Reports released Monday, the Law School Admission Council has found that for the incoming law school class of 2022, 36.6% identify as people of color.

Comparatively, students of color comprised 34.7% of the entering class in 2021, 34.1% in 2020, 33.1% in 2019, and 33.3% in 2018, according to a Dec. 20 blog post from the LSAC.

The LSAC also examined percentages by race and ethnicity for the 2022 entering class. It found that 57.7% of the 2022 1Ls are white, 9.4% are Hispanic or Latino, 8.9% are Asian, and 7.8% are Black.

Out of all groups, the percentages of Black and white entering students decreased from last year.

In 2021, the entering class was 59.5% white and 7.9% Black.

“We’ve now had three consecutive years of increases in the racial/ethnic diversity of the incoming law school class and two consecutive years with the most diverse entering class in history,” according to the blog post. “But we still have a long way to go to create a legal profession that reflects the diversity of society and provides full access to justice for everyone.”
