[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, The current USNWR rankings are
Georgetown 14 (tied with others)
GW and Mason tied at 31 (with several others, including W&M)
Catholic 71 (tied)
American 104

I went to AU law when it was ranked in the top 50 and liked it, have had good jobs since graduation.  But it was outrageously expensive then and seems to be so now.  I can’t fathom what it has done to fall so far in the rankings.

If I had it to do all over again and wanted to be in this area, I would live in VA and go to Mason law school.  Well ranked and a lot less expensive.

Yeah, what's going on at AU Law?[/quote]

Likely nothing is "going on at AU Law," the rankings have never meant much beyond top 15 or so and they have shifted like crazy for many, many schools in recent history, and usually for no obvious reason. I attended Tulane when it was just inside the first tier at 40 and now it's 78. Nothing "going on" (although there were some issues when Katrina hit, that was over 20 years ago). [/quote]

LOL.  The "first tier" stops way short of no. 40.[/quote]

Not when I went to law school it didn't. It referred to the top 50, not the top 14 like now. [/quote]

When did you go to law school?  Fifty years ago?[/quote]

No, not 50 years ago.

When did you go to law school? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Never. You’re one of the mommies, right? Obsessing over things like this because you want your kid to go to law school? Yep. That’s what I thought.[/quote]

I am a law school graduate.  [/quote]

Sure, Jan. [/quote]

Why on earth is that so hard to believe?  This board—like this town—is full of lawyers.

If you disagree with what I’m saying, fine, prove me wrong.  Simply writing me off as a non-lawyer when it isn’t true is hardly a lawyerly approach to an argument.  [/quote]

“law school grad” = didn’t pass the bar, right? That’s you.[/quote]

You said I didn't go to law school.  That's the question I answered.  Now you're saying I didn't pass the bar, so I'll answer that one too.  Yes, I passed the bar.  The DC bar to be exact.

Weirdo.[/quote]

Most big law lawyers took NY bar.  Nobody really takes DC bar.  You just waive into it later. [/quote]

Bullshit.  More than 2200 sat for the most recent DC bar exam.  Of the 51 state bars and DC, only 5 (NY, CA, IL, FL and TX) had more people sit for their exams.  All five are much larger jurisdictions.[/quote]
