Current and previous ranking positions (Positions enclosed in parentheses refer to domestic ranking) Notable ranking positions have been emphasised. *THE-WUR ranks ahead of the current year (e.g. the ranking(s) released in 2019 were "2020" rankings). **The ARWU Law subject ranking does not necessarily reflect the quality of a given law school (hence why universities without law schools feature on the ranking- see Princeton University). The ARWU Law subject ranking primarily measures the amount and performance of papers which relate to Law (the ranking additionally may include papers from Law-related subjects such as Policy, Public Affairs, and Criminology- hence why Griffith University, renowned for Criminology, performs well solely on the ARWU Law subject rankings) and that are associated with, or originate out of, a given university. *** This subject ranking includes research on social policy, political science, education, demographics, law, and public health and administration.
