Oh man, didn't expect such a steep drop for HLS over the years.

Jkjk, thanks for sharing. I find this post funny in light of this thread: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 1&t=244773

Do you have that data for all schools? I'd be curious where South Carolina Law was in 1987.

You've got to be joking.

What? I have a lot of native pride!

Lol, I just thought it was funny given the badgering for their ranking earlier.

I wonder what happened.

*Hey Bill, you remember that Chicago dude, Fred? Yeah, he was a cool guy. Let's subtly switch Chicago and Harvard. Everyone knows these rankings aren't meant to be taken seriously anyways!
-And thus USNEWS ranker dude lost his job shortly thereafter.

Why don't you just create your own rankings and have Chicago number 1? Oh, wait. Leiter already did that.

You should probably be more discreet if you don't want people to know you're alting.

Irvine had 42.9% employment for 2013 grads at time of graduation, ouch. That includes JD advantage jobs, too.

Irvine had 42.9% employment for 2013 grads at time of graduation, ouch. That includes JD advantage jobs, too.

Wow. That is horrible, especially considering their small class size (which will grow substantially in the years to come).

[xael]

SCOOBERS why oh why did you put Hastings in there

Hope you hate pistachios

wtf I definitely didn't actually put hastings there

[North]

Also, did North blur out all of our guesses in the second post or is my internet just awful?
