Does this law school stand a chance?

Berkeley Law has nowhere to go but up!

I want to see us be in or near the top five of all law schools within this 10-year period. I want to see us take the areas of excellence that we have and make them even better.

— Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of the UC Berkeley School of Law, commenting on some of the goals he has for the law school, which recently slipped from No. 8 to No. 12 in the U.S. News & World Report law school rankings.
