[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the actual leaked rankings:

1. Stanford, Yale
3. Chicago
4. Duke, Harvard, Penn, Virginia
8. Columbia
9. NYU, Northwestern, Michigan
12. Berkeley
13. UCLA
14. Cornell, Georgetown
16. Minnesota, Texas, WashU
19. Vanderbilt
20. Georgia, UNC, Notre Dame, USC
24. Boston U
25. Wake Forest

UVA up 4 spots, NYU down 4. 
Berkeley down 2, Wash U up 4, Vanderbilt down 3, Notre Dame up 7

It is interesting to me that Chicago has been firmly above Harvard for a few years, and now other schools have also jumped up to tie it. In the popular imagination, Harvard Law is the ultimate but it is a huge institution and its reputation within in the field differs a little [/quote]

[b]Yale is NOT number 1 and Harvard is NOT number 4.[/b]

They are not even in the top 10 or even top 50.

They both opted out of the rankings:

Not sure why people still pay attention to these dumb, subjective, rankings.[/quote]

I don't know what you're talking about but the sub-headline of the story you linked to literally reads:
"Yale and Harvard, ranked No. 1 and No. 4, respectively..."[/quote]

Sorry you do not understand.  Maybe you should try reading more carefully?

“Yale Law School and Harvard Law School both said Wednesday they will no longer participate in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of law schools, marking the biggest shakeup to the closely watched list in years.

Yale, which has captured the No. 1 spot every year since U.S. News began ranking law schools in 1990, was first to announce the decision. Hours later, Harvard Law Dean John Manning informed students that it would do the same. ”[/quote]
