Law School Rankings

Brian Leiter's New Educational Quality Rankings of US Law Schools

Considered by many to be the "real" law school rankings. "The EQR focuses exclusively on the three factors central to a good legal education: the quality of the faculty, the quality of the student body, and the quality of teaching."

US News & World Report

Still considered the authority by the masses (though not necessarily by students, faculty, lawyers, or judges), US News offers their yearly rankings by running survey results through their rather subjective algorithm.

Thomas E. Brennan's "Judging the Law Schools"

The former Supreme Court Justice speaks his opinion about law school rankings and offers a fact-based alternative. This site offers a more in-depth look at US law schools.
