And then immediately ignore it.

Bloomberg news also has this story up (without the option to comment)

I wonder how much Campbell Law had to pay for the top spot of this crap heap.

For those of you looking to attend law school, watch out for these fluff pieces. They are designed to fool and persuade...or persuade fools. Do not make my mistake.

OP went to Campbell and can't find a job.

It's pretty BS to highlight ten terrible schools and say "Look! These are slightly less terrible than US News says they are!" I don't know if this guy's methodology is any better or worse than USNWR though.

But here's the link to the original paper (which I haven't read): http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm? ... id=2624399

This dude's metrics are clearly not exhaustive. This blurb is like a last-second stat assignment for a college freshman.

Stupid.

[blsingindisguise]

"Underrated" here seems to mean a school that is rated as a steaming turd, where different metrics show that it is in fact not steaming.

ATL has made a pretty well written response to this propaganda.

The article cites the most under-rated law schools--not good law schools. Campbell is unranked by USNews, but the author's method suggests that Campbell should be ranked #112. Is anyone really rushing to enroll in a law school ranked #112 out of 200 ?
In short, the article is a ridiculous fluff piece making much ado about nothing.

This is like one of those fake "article" advertisements that sites sneak in to trick people into clicking.

"This one weird trick will save you thousands on law school..."
