Law School Rankings and their Alternatives
By Brendon Buthello


The US News and World Report magazine ranked law programs using statistics obtained from annual reports the programs created. The reports were then reviewed by the American Bar Association, the national accrediting agency for law schools. Yale secured top honors, followed by Harvard Law School. There were surprising changes in the rankings of many law schools though.U.S. News rankings are based purely on quantitative data, say analysts and many maintain that the system uses algorithms to weigh and crunch the numbers. It is always difficult to predict how the school will rank based on the data alone because US News does not reveal any of the formulas it uses to analyze the statistics.

The rankings of 188 law schools fully accredited by the American Bar Association are said to be based on a weighted average of the 12 measures of quality described in their rule books. One of the measures of quality is peer assessment Score (.25) wherein a school's score is the average of all the respondents who rated it. The respondents included the peer crowd. The other is the assessment score given by Lawyers/Judges (.15). The respondents included legal professionals, including the hiring partners of law firms and selected federal and state judges.  The Median LSAT Scores (.125) were also taken into consideration along with Median Undergrad GPA (.10) The combined median undergraduate grade-point average of all the full-time and part-time entrants to the J.D. program.

Since they first began appearing annually in 1990, U.S. News & World Report’s law-school rankings have studied and attended to religiously by JD wannabes. There has been sharp criticism too wherein several academic papers and blogs have sprouted up with surveys of their own. There are professors who have posts and lists ranging from Supreme Court clerkship placement to scholarly reputation. Even judges have gotten into the mix, suggesting alternative rankings to U.S. News.But for now, the U.S. News rankings still hold sway. All law school deans are expected to tend to their school’s ranking; if it slips, their job most probably lands in jeopardy. The sting has been experienced by some and it is indeed costly to be erroneous here.
