Abstract

For better or worse, the U.S. News & World Report law school ranking has dominated legal education for decades, by giving prospective law students information about the relative prestige of law schools. But in recent years, it has become largely irrelevant, as prospective law students have begun to look elsewhere when deciding which law school to attend. Apparently, we need a new law school ranking to provide useful information about prestige. This essay provides such a ranking.

Keywords: New York Times, US News, US News & World Report, Law school ranking, ranking, citation study, trolling
