it looks like UMN has a better employment score than UT

letsseehowitgoesnow

14:25

but idk tbh about everything

letsseehowitgoesnow

i just thought the dean was cool

@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/

are ABTL rankings trustworthy

glove

14:30

seem sketchy and volatile to me

glove

14:31

not sure how wahsingotn and lee was the 18th ranked school in the country last year according to them

info-man

14:31

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

@glove: i've received conservatively a dozen emails from them so they stick out in my mind

ABA report is the only data that matters fr fr ‼️🔥

letsseehowitgoesnow

i receive hella emails from them too

and vibes

llama

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

soapy

14:34

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

glove

14:35

@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

14:35

and thats coming from a W&L applicant lol

glove

14:36

decietful data!!

soapy

14:38

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.

llama

14:38

@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.

@soapy: i made an account just for it to show only 5 firms in my state

Uloveit

14:42

lol the worst lawyer I know irl is a cooley grad - so sometimes it does check out

soapy

14:44

I’ve never had issues w the site lol

glove

14:45

@llama: 'value' as in what employment opportunities they care ab?
