Enrollment at New York's 15 law schools decreased by 3 percent overall in 2015 over the prior year, following the nationwide trend. But some schools showed gains in their total enrollment and number of first-year students, according to figures released by the American Bar Association.

There were 11,565 students enrolled in New York law schools on the first day of the 2015-16 academic year, down from 12,033 the previous year, a 3 percent drop.

Law schools self-report their numbers to the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar by Oct. 15. The reports are available at www.abarequireddisclosures.org.
