Increase of 22 percent bucks national trend.

鈥檚 newest class is the largest in school history, with first-year enrollment up 22 percent in 2015, even as law school enrollment nationally remains depressed.

Applications and yield 鈥� the percentage of admitted students who enrolled 鈥� also rose for the Class of 2018.

Law school leaders believe the rise in enrollment 鈥� to 205 in 2015 from 168 last year 鈥� is partly because of the school鈥檚 success in placing students in jobs.

鈥淥ur rising appeal reflects, among other things, our success on the employment front,鈥� says Dean Phil Weiser. 鈥淐olorado Law continues to make important strides in its career development efforts, with a higher percentage of graduates from the class of 2014 working at the conclusion of the employment reporting period than any class since 2008.鈥�

Also, Colorado Law has held tuition steady since 2012, while increasing the scholarship budget.

Total applications rose to 2,383. Yield rose to 19 percent from 15 a year earlier.

In 2014, the most recent year for which data are available, nearly two-thirds of American Bar Association-approved law schools saw declines in first-year enrollment, according to the group, and total first-year enrollment in U.S. programs was down 4.4 percent, to 37,924 鈥� the lowest since 1973.

Since 2010, when first-year enrollment nationwide peaked at 52,488, it is down 27.7 percent.
