The following charts, grouped by Average Amount Borrowed by 2014 Graduates, show change in 1L enrollment between 2010 and 2014. Debt is not the amount owed, but the amount borrowed. It does not include interest that accumulated during law school, debt from other degree programs, or private debt related to attending law school. Note also that these amounts reflect only graduates.
