I beg to differ.

So does Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgetown_University_Law_Center

“From 1996 to 2017, Georgetown Law held an average rank of 13.82 on the U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking, making it one of the 14 law schools that consistently place at the top[11] since the magazine began the rankings in 1987.[12] Georgetown's part-time J.D. program is consistently ranked #1. The school is also ranked #1 in clinical programs, #2 in tax law, #3 in international law, #5 in trial advocacy, #8 in legal writing, #9 in healthcare law, and #11 in environmental law.[16] Georgetown Law was ranked 5th in the 2010 Super Lawyers ranking, which measures the number of graduates from each law school who are voted Super Lawyers.[17] In an exclusive study conducted by The National Jurist in 2011, Georgetown Law ranked #2 in terms of the total number of partners at the nation's largest law firms.[18] In December 2014, Business Insider ranked Georgetown as the 7th best law school in the U.S.[19]

In a recent law school ranking by law professor [b]Brian Leiter[/b], Georgetown Law ranked within the top ten law schools in selectivity, student quality, and Supreme Court clerkship placements respectively.[20][21] Professor Leiter ranked Georgetown Law #9 among U.S. law schools with respect to the total number of students who secured clerkships with the United States Supreme Court between 2003-2013.[22]

The 2018 Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranked Georgetown Law as the #6 best law school in the world.[23] According to the 2019 QS World University Rankings, Georgetown Law is the 8th best law school in the U.S. and 17th best in the world.[24] In the 2019 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Georgetown Law was ranked 12th in the U.S. and 26th in the world.[25]

[b]Georgetown Law receives the most J.D. applications of any law school in the United States.[26] Georgetown Law was also ranked #1 in a 2019 revealed preferences ranking of law schools where students choose to matriculate[/b].[27]“

T[b]hat last bit tells you all you need to know.[/quote]I have no view on whether any of this is true but I want OP to know that Brian Leiter is a self-important combative lone wolf who publicly attacks graduate students and whose judgment I would not trust.  (Ask a philosopher what they think of Brian Leiter.)  I wouldn't be surprised if he inserted his own name in here himself.[/quote][/b]

Wiki is irrelevant in this discussion.  It's all about being in the T-14, which any lawyer can tell you and always based on USN&WR.  UVA moves around from 6 to 8 but Georgetown is at 14, which could be a problem once it falls below T-14.[/quote]
