Top Law Schools

Most top schools seem to have student-faculty ratios of around 10 to 1. But it seems like the median classroom size is much larger than 10. What's the right way to interpret this number?

(Number of Students) : (Number of Faculty)

thx.

Student-Faculty ratio is a USNWR statistic that schools manipulate to rise in league tables. Average class size and whether upper level courses are taught in lecture halls or conference rooms are more meaningful.
