I take it you're an east coaster

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm not so sure. He did knock BC out of the T30, replacing it with BYU.

[hannibalhamlin61]

I take it you went to an 'alternative' middle school.

[holydonkey]

Good job sport! You're a winner! High Five!

[ChrisC]

Only on TLS would someone take the time to rank 'what they think' the 30 best law schools should be.

no one cares

[reverendt]

...and I assume this is the result of an extensive study and your vast personal knowledge of what it takes to have a first rate law school?

I spent five years traveling from law school to law school and lived amongst the inhabitants which allowed me to make this fine list. This is based off how hard I partied at each law school.

I really don't know anything about law school rankings...

Blatant anti-BC bias.

[nocal]

Strangest ranking I have seen yet.

HAHA, you partied hard enough at BYU to have it in the top 30?! You must have similar partying methods to people like me, because BYU should be ranked dead last when it comes to the typical definition of partying. LOL

[bigben]

This looks like an ordering based on LSAT percentiles.

[D. H2Oman]

Stick around, maybe PDaddy will do his rankings.

[bigben]

I just glanced at the LSAT data. Confirmed that this is (consistent with) a ranking based on LSAT percentiles. If you sort by 75th LSAT percentile, then sort within that ordering by the 25th, this is what you get. At least for the top 16 here which is all I checked.

Pretty interesting actually. I don't know if the OP did this purposely.

No I didn't do this purposely.. I just felt like putting GPA>LSAT schools in their place...

[lawlife2010]

yeah, totally looks like you are biased in favor of the east coast

[bigben]

yeah, totally looks like you are biased in favor of the east coast

Or biased in favor of high LSATs.

[pleasetryagain]

egregious Vandy trolling.
