Cumberland was recently included in The Princeton Review’s 2006 edition of its “Best 159 Law Schools.” Cumberland ranked sixth in the top 10 list rating faculty and ninth in the top 10 list for overall quality of life. The book’s ranking lists of top 10 schools in 11 categories are based on institutional data from the schools and on surveys of 15,000 students attending the 159 schools profiled in the book. The survey asked students more than 50 questions about themselves, their career plans, and their schools’ academics, student body and campus life.
