New U.S. News Law School Ranking:
While the U.S. News rankings shouldn't matter as much as they do, it's
news worthy that the new law school rankings reportedly are out. I
haven't confirmed that the rankings posted on a law school discussion
board are accurate, but the rankings purporting to be the new list can
be found [1]here.
As usual, not much motion relative to [2]the previous year's
rankings. (As I noted [3]two years ago, commenting on the 2003
rankings: "It's basically the same as last year, which was basically
the same as the year before that, which was basically the same as the
year before that.") Of interest to the frequent posters here at the
VC, UCLA was 16 and is now tied at 15; GW was in a 3-way tie for 20
and is now in a 2-way tie for 20; BU was in a tie for 23 and is now in
a tie for 20 with GW; and GMU was tied for 38 and is now in a 6-way
tie for 41.
Thanks to lawprof [4]Roger Alford of 22-spot jumping [5]Pepperdine
for the link.
