[Readers and researchers have used the tuition projections in the past, and rather than overwrite them with new ones, this page archives them.
Due to changes in the methodology discussed in this post, I have added an appendix containing revisions to the projections.]
When it comes to law school tuition increases the first question is: does inflation-adjusted tuition appear to increase at a linear or exponential rate? Looking at the ABA’s tuition data going back to the 1985-1986 school year, it appears linear.
You get the same effect from using the ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools.
The tuition increases at public law schools are heavily influenced by state governments withdrawing subsidies. Thus, the best way to measure tuition increases due to spending increases is to look at private law school tuition growth. Indeed, a few public law schools (Michigan, Virginia, Arizona State, the California schools, and Minnesota as of October 2012) are off or going off state subsidies, yet even if we exclude them and the three law schools in Puerto Rico, “adjusted” mean private law school tuition increases at about the same rate.
Why law school costs more than before shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out: legal education isn’t a free market service. It’s heavily subsidized by the federal government, allowing law schools to charge whatever their competitors are charging. Hopefully I’m right in the long run, or things will get far worse: taxpayers will be left with the tab of subsidizing Income-Based Repayment plans for law students whose degrees were overpriced relative to their labor market value. Those ineligible for IBR will require debt relief.
As a result, we can calculate law school tuition going into the future. These charts project private law school tuition five and ten years from the last years in which data are available. They are based on linear regression of the law schools’ individual tuition figures from the school year beginning in the fall of 2004, courtesy of the Official Guide. My methodology assumes that a law school’s tuition will increase largely as it has in the past. This should be a somewhat controversial assumption as some law schools saw dramatic tuition increases in recent years, and I tested alternative methodologies and concluded linear regression of individual law school tuition was best methodology.

As an aid to readers, this year I’ve included a column on the right side of the table giving the “relative variance,” which is a measure of how (in)accurate the projected tuition is based on the tests I ran. I think the lower it is the better, but anything below -3.0 percent or so is probably too low. The idea is to give readers a measure of how reliable the estimate is, given that some law school engaged in serious expansions in recent years that I hope they couldn’t get away with now, especially Faulkner University, which doubled its tuition in the span of a few years.
These projections are not adjusted for inflation, and the table is sorted by the 2021-2022 school year.
