Top Law Schools

Maybe my searching wasn't thorough enough, but what are the tiers exactly? I know part of it is opinion and part of it is bs but I'm curious what is classified T1, T2, T3, etc.

T1 = 1-50 US News
T2 = 51-100
T3 = 101-150
T4 = unranked

That is pretty much accurate. But many people would also tell you that the most meaningful difference is T14 versus anywhere else. T14 schools have national reach to a large extent, whereas T1 schools have strong regional reach, and T2 might have some regional reach.

I totally understand that, i was asking because I have been looking at the transfer threads and seeing T1, T2, etc a lot
