OK so after I got your attention, ranking lovers, I'll ask you to help me make a decision because I am soooo confused: SMU or Brooklyn Law? I want to practice in Lansing, Michigan.

Edited to reflect reality.

P.S. I ma surprised no one commented on my #9, where the schools weren't in alphabetical order and on TTT Vandy being T14 hahahaha

[mavsman88]

I'll be the first to call BS. Id bet a lot of money this is dead wrong.

[tadams86]

I'll look like an idiot....FLAME ON

[KibblesAndVick]

You do realize that if we can't objectively verify the rankings they serve us no purpose, even if they turn out to be correct? That was rhetorical because you're obviously just a sorry excuse for a Georgetown troll...

[Z3RO]

If the rankings were any good, Columbia would be above Stanford.

[nealric]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[NancyBotwin]

Lol at Michigan beating out or Virginia tying with Penn. Also lol at Virginia beating NU when NU topped the NLJ250 rankings. I'm going to 2nd (or 3rd or whatever) the BS call.

[calicocat]

LOL at berkeley staying in the t14, what a flame.

[motiontodismiss]

No way UCLA is tied for #14.

If fake, what the hell is the point of posting this? If real, what the hell is the point of posting this without pics?

[dakatz]

I'm calling BS as well.

[MrKappus]

Shameless G'town trolling.

[jackalope11]

I'll bite, since the schools that I am trying to decide on moved up in the rankings. Lucky me!

Where's Cooley?

Cooley is and never will be a top 30 school. From my understanding they a fourth tier law school. It crime that they have on their website them in the top 20 not sure how they did that.

Illinois beating Notre Dame, Minn, BU and Boston College seems pretty far fetched, but we'll see.

lol at you thinking the NLJ250 matters in the US News

No, obviously I know it's not included, but that doesn't mean that placement in the NLJ250 is completely irrelevant to the rankings.

[rayiner]

The movements within the T12 were believable. Cornell dropping several points to tie with UCLA/Vandy... not so much.

That depends to which decimal place you round to. Is it 100.0% irrelevant, or 99.96% irrelevant?
