NKU President Cady Short-Thompson echoes this sentiment, stating that the ongoing commitment of the NKU community to provide a dynamic and innovative environment for legal education is a key factor in the school's success.
The rankings are determined by a comprehensive evaluation of factors including graduate employment rates, bar exam success, faculty resources, academic achievements, and assessments from law schools, law professors, attorneys, and judges regarding program quality. The school's high bar passage percentage and strong employment outcomes are interconnected elements of its success.
The Chase Law School is now the second-highest ranked law school in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The success of job placements for graduates is an additional recognition for the school.

The school's commitment to student success, as demonstrated by the high job placement rate, is seen as a testament to the unwavering focus on student success.
As of now, national data for 2025 has yet to be released. However, the recognition from U.S. News & World Report, the high bar passage rate, employment outcomes, and the high job placement rate are all interconnected elements of the Chase Law School's success. The school is expected to continue its focus on the success of its students, aiming to maintain its position as one of the nation's best law schools.
