U.S. News Law School Rankings Tired of Getting Pwned
Law school rankings couldn't possibly be rigged, could they? U.S. News is considering changing the way it ranks the schools—right now, schools can "game" the system by funneling lower-scoring students into a part-time program for their first year, where they don't count. If the magazine changes the way they rank the schools by counting part-timers, the WSJ says it "would roil the law-school rankings, which have a big impact on where students apply and from where law firms hire." Uh oh. What are some of the top-tier schools that could drop in rankings?
