Pregaming the Vault Rankings: Incorrect Rankings Appear on Vault Website

The new Vault law firm rankings, for 2010, are set to be released later this week. But earlier today, readers sent us this link, which takes you to a page on the Vault website with incomplete prestige rankings for a little over 60 law firms.

These are not the correct rankings. There was a technical glitch on our end and some incorrect rankings have appeared on the site. We will publish the new rankings soon.

And when they do, we’ll be sure to let you know.

After the jump, more faux rankings.


Please remember: these rankings are NOT the real deal. When the true rankings come out later this week, we will let you know ASAP. It will be interesting to compare the two sets and see how much the “fake” rankings diverged from the real rankings.
