University of Denver declined to make available important information about its J.D. graduates' debt, thus at least one year of data is missing from the TFI table and chart.

Total federal investment does not include money borrowed by J.D. students who left school through attrition, transfer, or otherwise. Neither does it include money borrowed for non-JD coursework at the law school. More info on total federal investment available here.
