Florida A&M University was among five law schools in the country in 2022 where the number of enrolled women was double the number of enrolled men, according to the latest American Bar Association profile of the legal profession.
Women have been leading men in law school enrollment since 2014, according to the profile. In 2022, there were 116,724 students enrolled in the law school. Of those students, there were 65,073 women (55.7%) and 50,969 men (43.7%). Included in that total are 358 nonbinary students and 324 students who preferred to not disclose their gender.
FAMU’s ratio of two female students for every male student placed it near the top in the trend of women over men studying law in 2022.
