How this school's aid is distributed
Lewis & Clark Law School splits its aid across four tiers. The share of students in each tier is what the school reports to the ABA — it is not a projection.
What three years would actually cost you
At Lewis & Clark Law School, three years of tuition, housing and fees cost $269,562 before aid. A grant of $19,000 to $36,000 a year would leave you paying between $161,562 and $212,562 over three years. The lower figure assumes the larger award applies every year, so treat it as a floor rather than a bill.
| Component | Per year | Three years |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | $61,434 | $184,302 |
| Housing (on campus) | $28,370 | $85,110 |
| Mandatory fees | $50 | $150 |
| Total before aid | $89,854 | $269,562 |
| Median grant (applied to all three years) | $26,000 | $78,000 |
| Net cost | — | $191,562 |
The net figure applies this school's median award to every year and every student, so it is a floor rather than a bill — it excludes students who receive nothing, tuition increases, and living costs beyond what this school publishes. See the full cost breakdown →
Is this school worth your score?
Lewis & Clark Law School sits in the 52nd percentile of law schools by median LSAT but the 52nd percentile by median grant, so it gives about what its selectivity would predict. Among the 164 schools with both figures reported, that is a gap of 0 percentile points.
Selectivity and generosity are two different things. A school can sit high on one and low on the other — and that gap is the part worth knowing before you decide where to apply.
| Measure | This school | Among 164 comparable schools |
|---|---|---|
| Median LSAT of admitted students | 161 | 52th percentile |
| Median grant for students receiving aid | $26,000 | 52th percentile |
| Gap | 0 points | about what its selectivity would predict |
The comparison set is the 164 schools that report an annual tuition figure and a median grant. Schools reporting tuition per credit hour are excluded because there is no annual aid figure to line up against. Percentiles are rank positions, not estimates.
Where this school sits against the extremes
The most and least generous schools relative to their own selectivity, for reference:
| School | LSAT percentile | Grant percentile | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| New England Law/Boston | 12th | 88th | +76 |
| California Western School of Law | 21th | 86th | +65 |
| Mitchell/Hamline School of Law | 16th | 79th | +63 |
| The University of Chicago | 98th | 20th | -78 |
| Brigham Young University | 87th | 15th | -72 |

What you get for what you pay
Lewis & Clark Law School costs about $191,562 over three years after its median grant, and 79.7% of its 153 graduates went to a firm that requires bar passage, with 4.6% landing at a firm with 251 or more lawyers. That is 4.16 percentage points of bar-required employment for every $10,000 of net cost. These are the school's own reported figures for one class, not a forecast of what an individual graduate will get.
This school is one of the 20 law school pages with measurable search traffic, so the analysis below goes deeper than the standard breakdown: how its aid compares with schools at the same selectivity level, where it sits against the most and least generous schools in the country, and what its own class of graduates went on to do.
| Measure | This school | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Three-year net cost after the median grant | $191,562 | What a student pays after the median award, applied to all three years |
| Graduates in the reported class | 153 | The denominator for every percentage below |
| Went to a firm requiring bar passage | 79.7% | Full-time graduates employed where bar passage is required |
| Landed at a firm with 251+ lawyers | 4.6% | The larger end of the market, counted against the same class |
| Bar-required employment per $10,000 of net cost | 4.16 | Percentage points of bar-required employment for each $10,000 spent |
These are one class's reported outcomes, not a forecast. Employment figures depend on the year, the market and what graduates choose to report. See the full employment breakdown →
Is Lewis & Clark Law School getting more competitive?
Applications to Lewis & Clark Law School fell from 1,472 for the 2015 entering class to 1,133 for 2025, while the class enrolled 171 students — so there were 6.6 applicants per place, against 8.6 in 2015. Between 2023 and 2025 that figure moved from 5.9 to 6.6, and competition for each place has tightened.
| Entering class | Applications | Offers | Enrolled | Applicants per place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 1,472 | 866 | 172 | 8.6 |
| 2021 | 1,514 | 684 | 196 | 7.7 |
| 2022 | 1,163 | 605 | 146 | 8 |
| 2023 | 934 | 634 | 157 | 5.9 |
| 2024 | 907 | 574 | 157 | 5.8 |
| 2025 | 1,133 | 620 | 171 | 6.6 |
Applicants per place is applications divided by the number who actually enrolled. It moves with how selective the school is, not with how many offers it sends — a school can issue more offers without becoming harder to get into. The summary above judges the direction over the three most recent entering classes, not across the whole span: a single unusual year in the middle of eleven is not a trend.
How Lewis & Clark Law School compares to schools at the same level
These are the schools with the closest median LSAT to Lewis & Clark Law School's. The table sorts by median grant, because that is usually what the comparison turns on once the academic profile is close enough — and the three-year net cost column shows what each of those grants actually leaves you paying.

Applicants per place is applications divided by students who enrolled. The competition column compares the most recent three entering classes rather than the full span, because a single year in the middle of that span is not a trend. Conditional retention is the share of students who kept a need-based conditional scholarship after year one review.

Below the median means your LSAT is between the school's 25th and 50th-percentile LSAT, inside the bottom half of its entering class. Below the 25th percentile means your LSAT is under the bottom quarter of the school's admitted class, and its published aid figures describe students who were admitted rather than your case.

Is this an estimate of my offer?
No, and it cannot be. The ABA Standard 509 disclosures publish each school's overall aid distribution, not a mapping from LSAT scores to award amounts. This page shows you Lewis & Clark Law School's real published figures and where your scores land against its admitted class. A tool that prints a single dollar figure for your score is running a model, and the error is invisible to you.
