They leaked themselves!

This is the only salient info for full-time programs:

Law: The top schools were unchanged in the law rankings, with Yale Law School at No. 1​. Harvard Law School and Stanford Law School tied for No. 2, just as they did last year. However, Duke University and the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor traded places, with Michigan moving up to a tie for No. 8 and Duke dropping to No. 11.​

Further down the list, Boston University moved up six spots, from a tie at No. 26 to a tie at No. 20.

Nah I saw the same leaked info everyone else did and then just threw in some educated guesses.

I had power nobody else had and the temptation was just too much.

[North]

Pm me your addy dude one more jar won't kill me (@sublime)

Forreal man? Nbd if not. But I have been jealous of the hot sauce for like 3 years now. I also would obviously be happy to pay you for it, or at least shipping.

lol you don't have to pay I usually give a few away anyway and give the rest to folks I know at LS, so it's w/e

[North]

I'm going to buy a mountain of local red chilies in Tally before I head back up to LS then get cracking

Can't decide how to spice it up this year. Did mesquite smoke last year whichwas good and easy-ish, but slack's secret santa gift has upped my hot sauce game so I might try something new

I actually interpret that differently than most, including ATL, which seems to think USNWR meant the below.

1. Yale (no change)
2. Harvard (no change)
2. Stanford (no change)
4. Columbia (no change)
4. Chicago (no change)
6. NYU (no change)
7. Penn (no change)
8. Michigan (+2; ranked #11 last year)
8. UC Berkeley (no change)
8. UVA (no change)
11. Duke (-2; tied at #8 last year with UC Berkeley and UVA)
12. Northwestern (no change)
13. Cornell (no change)
14. Georgetown (no change)

The way I interpret the [poorly worded] USNWR weird release and then backtrack, they mean the top 3 schools are unchanged (note they never define top schools to mean t14 or anything, we are all defining that based on what we think them to mean). Then they blab that "however, Duke and Michigan traded places. My gut and experience tracking these things tells me that there is more movement in the T14, time (short amount if it) will tell.

I have my suspicions. How is it that these rankings were not outed sooner? The 22nd???

I think you forgot Vanderbilt.

We're ranking law schools, not steamboats.

[ticklemesilly]

Ouch, why did Duke fall? Drop in employment numbers? LSAT/GPA virtually unchanged...

it is bizarre... the page says it was posted on feb 22, but abovethelaw says it was posted this afternoon

Last year, the "peer assessment" ballot was confusing, making it easy to mix up Duke and Michigan. USNWR remedied the layout problem this year.

I have been saying for years that this game is rigged, and yet most of you mock me as a "troll." Who is the troll now?
