Williams does a super job sending its students to the country’s most selective, elite law school: Yale Law School (law school class size is about 200 each year)
Per capital wise, among big name research universities (Ivies, Stanford, UChicago, MIT, Duke etc.), only Harvard, Yale, Princeton do better jobs in placing students into Yale Law School for the past 3 years (about 600 students in its J.D. program).

Please keep in mind, the number varies from year to year. This is just another data point to confirm Wall Street Journal’s college ranking based on placement into elite law, medicine, and business schools. As one can see, Yale and Harvard dominate the list both in terms of total number of graduates and per capital placement. Liberal arts colleges such as Amherst and Williams are doing better than most of the Ivy League colleges on the per capital basis.
Below is the total number of Law students from the most selective colleges as of the fall 2016 (It is not adjusted by the size of undergraduate enrollment at different colleges).
