[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law school rankings are a slightly different kettle of fish. The T14 virtually never change, and every law firm knows what those are, so either way, not a huge impact.

From another angle, however, this makes one wonder what Yale feels it needs to hide.[/quote]

Exactly. I’m no fan of the USNW rankings, but Yale & Harvard were fine with them when they were 1 & 2. Now they’re starting to drop in the rankings, they want to take their ball and go home.

It does make one wonder if the backlash against the recent shenanigans on campus is having an effect on employment prospects for graduates. [/quote]

Why would it make one wonder this? They’re two completely disconnected things.[/quote]

Because it’s clear their concern is about the role of post-Grad employment in the rankings. Yale provides University funded fellowships and they don’t count in the rankings the same as law firm jobs and clerkships. It is interesting that they need to do this when supposedly everyone is beating down their door for YLS graduates.

And Harvard did drop in the rankings last year. [/quote]
