Above the Law Law School Rankings

We've got a bunch of problems with our rankings, and now you're gonna hear about them.

When it comes to law school greatness, numbers might not tell the whole story.

Our rankings have a new number 1. Are we seeing a 'Trump Effect' in employment?

This is our fifth year ranking law schools, but it's the first year schools west of the Hudson take the top spots.

Let's get into everything that is wrong with our rankings, and by extension, everything that is wrong with me.

The ATL Top 50 Law School Rankings are the only rankings to incorporate the latest ABA employment data for the class of 2015.

Props to these law school deans for talking honestly about what's wrong with the legal academy.

The Above the Law 2016 Law School Rankings are here. Well, almost here. But you can get a sneak peak at the top 10 schools right now. Come on, don't you want to know what happened to last year's #1 ranked school, Harvard Law School? Once you are at the top, the only way forward is down.

* Boies Schiller announced it will be working with Hausfeld LLP for the limited purpose of creating a new practice group that will allow the firms to co-represent professional athletes. (Sorry, college athletes, you don’t count yet.) [Bloomberg]

* It’s highly likely that departing White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler will return to her former stomping grounds at Latham & Watkins. Imagine how many pairs of shoes she’ll be able to buy with her Biglaw money. [Washington Post]

* Governor Andrew Cuomo is so desperate to keep the Buffalo Bills in Western New York that he recently inked a $350K deal with Foley & Lardner to convince the team’s future owners to stay put. [Buffalo News]

* The Above the Law Top 50 Law School Rankings are virtually ungameable, but Kyle McEntee of Law School Transparency proposes a novel way deans can try: by lowering tuition. GASP! [Law.com (reg. req.)]

* Marc Randazza, one of the preeminent lawyers on First Amendment rights (who happens to represent us from time to time), thinks what happened to Don Sterling was “morally wrong.” Interesting theory. [CNN]
