Purdue Global Law School earns ‘A’ rating, lands on national honor roll for its innovation and impact

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue Global Law School, the nation’s first fully online law school, has been named to The National Jurist’s Justice & Opportunity Honor Roll with an “A” rating.

According to The National Jurist, schools were evaluated based on the scope and maturity of their efforts — including evidence of scale, longevity and measurable impact — where available. Institutions designated as “A” demonstrate multiple, well-established access strategies that work together to lower barriers to entry and persistence. The honor roll is not a ranking, but a recognition of meaningful action at a moment when access pathways matter more than ever.

The honor roll reflects leadership across four primary access models — geographic and rural access, mission-driven urban public access, admissions innovation, and modality and design — showing how schools are opening the door in different but equally meaningful ways.

Martin Pritikin, dean and vice president at Purdue Global Law School, said this recognition further validates the mission and efforts that the law school is making to become even more flexible and accessible to students interested in pursuing careers in law.

“It is gratifying to be the only fully online and non-ABA law school to be nationally recognized for the quality of our efforts,” Pritikin said. “Purdue Global Law School’s mission is to expand access to justice by making high-quality legal education more accessible and affordable. An online law school is ideally situated to promote access.”
