Of what value are the SSRN rankings of law schools? Are they worth taking into account when deciding where to apply?

You might need to make an SSRN account and log in to see the rankings. It's free and you only need an e-mail address.

Not worth it, post it or no one will see the rankings.

Unfortunately, its 7 large pages, as they rank to 609 with a lot of ties.. :shock:

Thus... to answer OP's question...

The SSRN rankings are basically a ranking of how much has been downloaded from their site from each school. It includes all foreign schools and all schools remotely related to law (i.e. masters and bachelors programs). The rankings are designed to get people (like me) into their site. Nothing more.
