Law School Rankings
I try not to post too many links to commentaries and articles on US News' law school rankings because they are basically the same complaints and same arguments over and over.
"The metrics don't produce an accurate ranking"..."Students put too much credence into/misuse the rankings"..."Law schools consciously make decisions (budgetary, personnel, admissions) based on what might increase their ranking"..."Law schools game the system to get higher rankings." Of course, changes to combat these problems are rarely ever made.
But I realize that this is a blog for pre-law students so some of you may not be as familiar with these sort of commentaries and complaints about law school rankings. National Jurist has a good article on the topic available through their online edition.
