At least four of New York’s 15 law schools are bucking a national trend in declining applications, according to preliminary figures provided by the schools.

New York University School of Law, St. John’s University School of Law, Syracuse Law School and the Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center all received more applications in the 2014 admissions cycle than they did last year. Another five saw their applicants decline, while six did not provide numbers to the New York Law Journal.
