Official 2010 US News Law School Rankings Forum

I am so glad that I stayed up late tonight.

...looks like Miami moved up a 11 spots, which is encouraging. Hawaii fell from the top 100. Gonzaga cracking the top 100 (just barely) was a surprise.

Lots of big movements in the rankings, is that normal?

When will the school profiles be updated on TLS?


*Thanks Ken!!!!

[kramer22]

UNLV moving up 13 spots is definitely great to see...really appreciate the thread and real rankings.

[dextermorgan]

I want to give 100% of my voting weight to OperaSorpano.

Just saying.

[jibstir13]

san diego jumped 21 spots!

and davis > hastings!

By rule, Davis & Hastings must exchange positions each year.

Hey, I just broke into the top 10!

I dig these rankings!

Interesting stuff.

Michigan stays at 9, which is interesting since it was tied for 9th with Northwestern and UVA who both dropped.

Also, I updated my little chart thing from another thread. It doesn't have Northwestern or HYSCCN (only because the latter seem pretty constant year-to-year, and because I didn't apply to Northwestern). If anyone wants me to update it for NU, let me know (and send me their rankings from 90-09):

Ken, TLS should definitely have it's own law school rankings starting next year. Better start thinking about a rankings formula now!

I don't know about that. I don't think TLS has the resources to do it right. Unless Ken recently hit the lottery, I think the most we should shoot for is more comprohensive profiles with data from current students.

Talk to me if you need some info on Duke Ken. I am actually going to try and maintain a blog throughout my law school experience, hopefully that will give you some good info.

1. Berkeley
TTT. HYSCCNPMNVDCG... [etc]


Just speculating...

[BradyToMoss]

GWU down 8??? Indiana Bloomington +13 (WTH?).

It's about time Harvard is ahead of Stanford. I'll be interested to see the scores. Columbia/NYU might be separating themselves pretty clearly, making HYSCCN kind of pointless.

Hahvahd - 95
'furd - 93
Columbia - 88
NYU - 87
Palo Alto - 84
Chicago - 84

Until you look at the peer assessment scores and gpa/lsat of Chicago compared to NYU. When you take clerkships and other placement into account...

Well, its back to CCN, anyway. Berkeley remains an anomaly, but I think it stands as a nice counterpoint alternative to the seriousness of Chicago. They each have their personalities, and something to offer that the other doesn't, you know.

This seems fairly accurate.

[jetlagz28]

Good to see USF back in the T2.

Also Davis over Hastings? Wow.

Which schools dropped down to T3?

[TheNerdProject]

I just woke up and read this thread... must admit it feels like Christmas.

Berk stays at 6! Woo-hoo!

Thanks Ken!

[vasiok]

Ow. People who went to Stetson on TLS will be pissed.

[PhantaManta]

What?! My beloved Rutgers-N fell below Camden! NOOO!


Edit: Also the Cuse fell off T2. Jeez IU-Indy fell 19 spots. Buffalo went up 15.

[jetlagz28]

Anyone have a link for the national university rankings for this year (2010)? Are they out too?

[IzziesGal]

I'm sooo happy all the naysayers were wrong about Berkeley's "demise." Can't wait to rub it in that we're still number 6.

Kinda sad that everyone was right about Rutgers - Newark, though. I still have a soft spot for that school.

[todesgebruell]

Anybody know the reason for the W&L slide? Numbers, reputation scores?

[carrowd3]

Ow. People who went to Stetson on TLS will be pissed.

Indeed. ( ...thinking of a way to justify my choice...)

Oh well, at least I'm going for free.

I am sad about Rutgers-N too

Pacific McGeorge, the other school I'm considering is now off the list.

[bobothecat]

Does anyone know if they only have a Top 10 for Part Time? I'm curious to see where the rest of the schools stand.

[lawdog]

Congrat to UNC and S Carolina! Both +8!

UNC to top 25 or bust!
