I love how like almos all schools report 90+% employing at 9 months. Lol, just lol.

This is the thing. The ABA created new rules and no one followed them. Our school did because our dean is like ABA chair elect of the law school division or something, so we're at 80%. Our peers conveniently missed the memo about the new standards and continue to report 95%+. All of our data is the same or better than 2011, but we dropped 5 spots because we followed new protocol.

USNWR and the ABA suck. Thankfully this rankings shit is meaningless.

Again, how did WUSTL report, what were the new standards. Right now you've basically offered some conclusion, but im curious as to what exactly your dean meant by the new standards.

quit splitting hairs bro

Anyone know the "Law Firms Ranking Law Schools" rankings? just for kicks and giggles...

I'm a student at the Yale Law School in Connecticut...things are absolutely out of control here. Students dancing on tables, throwing hornbooks at each other, stripping their tees off and running up and down Wall Street in a maddened frenzy. Dean Post kicked in the door to the dining hall (where the most raucous of the gadabouts were cavorting) and demanded silence, only to slam a boombox on the ground and triumphantly proclaim "You mad, Minow?" The music poured forth from the speakers like elixir from the Fountain of Youth:

The party rages on..as I write prestigious legal minds continue to hoot and holler into the night into the New Haven night

WTF is this shit.

[ShowJumper560]

I am applying for transfer to GW and there is no way that GW's number is accurate. I would be shocked if 94% of the graduates are employed at nine months.

LOL@ a midnight stakeout for this and the guy at Stanford who says that they're pumped. Oh, TLS.

[rad lulz]

Can you guys unban general tso for the day?

A thousand times this

[debtsucks]

Michigan punished for being so holistic.

lol is that the reason? or maybe is it bc they all were told to bid on chicago? which one for the moment?

idk. probably not. probs just for shits and giggles, honestly.

mich is falling to their correct ranking; 11-14 would be better, but this is a start

I see Ken lurking in the forum.

[GBURGLAW]

We are all clearly under fewer delusions than USNAWR is. These rankings are ridiculous. Emory and W&L: 24?!?!? What the heck??

[Jaeger]

Bronck, can you post UMN's info too?

Thanks, if we ever meet (banking on that never happening) I'll buy you a nice bottle of scotch.

i see hes happy Berk moved up, but disappointed Furd went up as well

[lawyerwannabe]

Ya. So. How is Berkeley not out of the top 10 or even 14? They have tied for the lowest peer review and the lowest medians of any of the schools. Do they inefficiently spend tons of money on each student? With their tuition being the highest of all the schools, and the state of CA in general, it would not be entirely surprising.

Aschup where can I join the Pen15 club

Brb, buying Mont Blancs

TBF even that 80% number is probably shit.

Conveniently the exact same argument Emory used last year.
