2014 Rankings Released Forum

96% employment. Congratulations, UVa. I'm sure the fully 1/5 of your students that work for you after graduation appreciate the extent you're going to to game the USNWR rankings rather than to find them real jobs or even improve your OCI system.

T7 wishes Berkeley the best of luck

T7 schools don't employ 20% of their own graduates. HTH

Does Berk really do this? Where?

[Dr. Dre]

Don't listen to that radlulz guy.

that guy is one of the few on TLS worth listening to. He knows his shit.

unlike sfhaze; (san francisco= over-expensive, overcrowded, too hilly, pure fog and no snow, dump of a beach, craphole!); doesn't even compare to NYC

I just took some ecstasy, ain't no tellin' what the side effects could be.

I wish my own school employed me. On their faculty.

A school-funded position that leads to nothing IS virtual unemployment. But by all means pick UVa. Your low LSAT/high GPA combo will do wonders in helping them overtake that school that sends 15+% more grads into big law for sole possession of #7.

Chill dude. Sounds like you've never been or were somehow hurt while being here. Give it time and come back (w/o the braggadocio, if I may suggest). You'll enjoy it!

Thing is some of UVA's S-F jobs lead to gainful employment and 100% of Berkeley's unemployed positions lead to...oh wait. UVA is that Lexus with extra airbags and blind spot detection. Berkeley is that small, dangerous and environmentally-friendly Smart ForTwo car with one airbag.

I'm largely being facetious. We all know there's two airbags in that Smart car

I just attempted to watch the Morse interview and it was painful. I stopped watching very quickly, but powered through it with audio only. The fact that USNWR has to hide specifics of their methodology to prevent gaming is both funny and sad.

It's a good thing analogies weren't part of the LSAT or you would've shit the bed even harder.

I'm sure this has been 50 pages of truly substantive discussion.

Anybody know when the new ABA employment data will be released?

[Gunnar Stahl]

I have always thought that Top-Law-Schools.com should publish its own rankings. Our criteria would be more transparent and I think we could give the US News a run for its money.

Why doesn't this list more closely match the new NLJ250 placement data?

Firms of 100+ is different from the NLJ250 (firms of ~160+). Also there is some NLJ250 under reporting.

People are really having trouble figuring out HYS. First OP says Stanford moved down one, now OP says Harvard stayed the same...

[jack5on]

Can someone explain why/how Cardozo still gets a part-time program ranking even though you must matriculate to the full-time program after a year? Seems as shiesty as it gets.

It's not just YHS....
