@glove: yes, ABTL (outcome skewed ranking metrics) ranks UMN #34. the high employment helps a ton for the USNWR ranking: https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/blog-post/how-does-us-news-actually-rank-law-schools https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/blog-post/how-does-us-news-actually-rank-law-schools/

we need a law school admissions publication or consultancy to release rankings that evidence they don't give a shit anymore

ABTL : "prioritize employment outcomes (70%) above all other factors. " The fact that W&L has great emplyment: https://www.lawschooltransparency.com/schools/wl is a strong reason

At the end of the day, we are placing mainly quantitative values to qualitative values, since what each person considers valuable is not equivocal.

went to Boston, didn’t vibe w Harvard, and that’s definitely the only reason I’m not going to be attending that particular school

@llama: like yea but i dont think its easier to get a job with a W&L JD than the schools its ranked higher than
glove

and thats coming from a W&L applicant lol

decietful data!!
soapy

joking aside, take a look at https://www.nalpdirectory.com/ to see the law firms ur interested in and which schools they hire from. It’s really helpful.

@glove: exactly my point above, the 'value' is not the same for each person at the same school. case in point, I know awesome lawyers who graduated from T180+, defunct schools.
