Between 2018 and 2022, the gender share of law school applications in the United States stayed largely the same. The share of women applying increased by two percent during this period, whereas the share of men who applied decreased by three percent. Discrepancies in the totals not adding up to 100 percent were owed to those who chose not to disclose their gender and those who identify as nonbinary or genderqueer/gender-fluid.
