You're right, this is what totally discredits the rankings.

The real hilarity is in the Acceptance/Denials forum. Check out schools like Tulane, Cardozo and FSU that dropped out of the T1.

George Mason being in the top 100 is what discredits these rankings. Turrible school.

Man, Northwestern gets screwed in the reputation rankings. I don't get why they're like the redheaded stepchild of the T14 in the peer/judge/lawyer assessments.

The smilies show up when you have an 8 followed by a ) Thusly: 8)

1. "Your an idiot" - No comment necessary

2. Iowa is the best school in Iowa. George Mason is not even close to the best school in the area. The entire T14, GULC, GW, WL/WM are given priority over Mason. Mason is a peer with MD/American, in that it's an OK school in a wildly competitive region.

I apologize if someone has already posted an answer to this question, but I don't have the time right now to go through 50 pages of material for it.
Do we know what goes into that 100 point system that USNW uses? I'm mainly curious to see what the 1 point difference between Michigan and the 3 no. 7s is about.

NW's old dean was controversial. He metaphorically said "fuck you legal academia" in several ways. By hiring Ph'ds instead of just JDs and by following a more business school method of operation.

The lawyer/judge seems biased against non NYC centric schools anyway. It has a low response rate. NW placement in biglawl contradicts it.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
