[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You’re the one who should just go home.  Yale has been ranked number one forever and there’s no indication that that’s gonna change any time soon.  [/quote]

Yale's score was dropping even though they were still at the top due to "peer rating" because more and more judges were saying they wouldn't accept clerks from there.  So they quit.  That should help their reputation.  They can frame it as DEI but everyone knows why.  [/quote]
A few wingnut judges don’t have that much influence.[/quote]

Wanting clerks that can think clearly and won't leak info based on their own agenda is hardly "wingnut."  Have you met any recent grads?  No thanks.

+1. Actually the issue is the intolerance of Yale law students and admin. There is no such thing as free speech there anymore. Only intolerance. And law firms have long avoided Yale law grads because they were trained to be in-the-clouds academics and we’re not good lawyers. Everyone in law knows this.[/quote]
