What grade point average is required to stay in law school?

Answer 1

The required grade point average for law school varies from school to school. At UNC School of Law the required GPA for the first year is 2.2, and 2.25 each year after. At The University of Akron, The University of San Diego School of Law, and The University of Michigan Law School you must maintain a 2.0 average. At Lewis & Clark Law School you need to maintain a 1.8 GPA at the end of the first year, and a 2.0 GPA every year after.

Answer 2

The GPA is not particularly important, but higher is better. An excellent grade on the LSAT can help with grades. Work experience can also be of value. Some schools also consider the type of degree, giving more credit for harder degrees.
