Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 17, 2014

Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law was named to the 2014 Best Value Law Schools list by preLaw Magazine, a National Jurist publication.

This was the eighth time that The National Jurist has published the list. The National Jurist looks at a number of academic and financial variables, including the law school’s price of tuition, student debt accumulation, employment success, bar passage rate and cost of living.
