traditionalguy said...: Is this like the football rankings with a regional bias for at least the best school or two from every region? Whoever does the selecting knows that answer. My school is in the top 20 this year, so they must have continued to be very liberal in their political values this year, since we have no football team.; 4/20/09, 10:01 PM
former law student said...: Dang, I knew I shoulda gone to Bloomington.

Also, how can Pepperdine rank so high when their most famous alum had to leave the Governorship in disgrace?; 4/20/09, 10:08 PM

Invisible Man said...: Ah, my Emory moves into the top 20. Vanderbilt, we've got our eyes on you.; 4/21/09, 6:47 AM

When will Notre Dame learn?; 4/21/09, 7:01 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Critical Badger, send email! I see what I see and link to the blogger that made me see it. Paul Caron sent email. I would have preferred to link to you. As for ATL, I rarely read it anymore, so I missed that too.; 4/21/09, 7:08 AM
John said...: My work blocks the site. I am sure however that my alma mater still ranks 4th among the three law schools in its state.

They don't call it Useless News and World Report for nothing.; 4/21/09, 9:26 AM
theobromophile said...: Back in 2003 or 2004, my law school alma mater was solidly in the Top 20. Now it's hanging onto #30 by a thread.

Not surprising, given a few things. While I'm sad to see the value of my degree undergoing such a dramatic decline, I'm glad that there's some concrete measure of accountability.; 4/21/09, 12:56 PM
Unknown said...: Rumor has it that Al Qaeda plotted a terrorist attack to underwrite 4 new law schools in the US.; 4/23/09, 11:11 PM
