You are viewing Graduate Debt at ABA-approved law schools in Louisiana

The following chart of schools in Louisiana shows change in average debt between 2010 and 2014.

Click anywhere on the chart and drag your cursor to zoom.

We use normal averages rather than weighted averages on this page. 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.

The school numbers do not always match up across 2010 and 2014 because some schools inconsistently disclose/withhold debt data.
