In addition to being known as one of the country's best law schools, the University of Chicago Law School is renowned for graduating several prominent conservative lawyers, including Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Edward Levi. Jason Zengerle of The New Republic writes that Chicago Law is "a famously Conservative institution," in part because it is the origin of several conservative legal theories, including the law-and-economics movement.
