# Best IP Law Schools

> Judge a law school for IP on its intellectual property curriculum and clinics, its employment outcomes with IP and large firms, its cost, and its location relative to the firms you want to join. U.S. News publishes a specialty ranking of IP programs, and every ABA-approved school publishes cost and employment data in its Standard 509 disclosure.
