Obviously. That’s why 99% of my resume is focused on my experience. My question is whether having a line at the bottom (where I long ago moved the education portion of the resume) with my class rank adds anything or just seems silly. I, of course, realize that no one is going to hire me at this point in my career based on my law school rank and GPA, but I wondered if it might be a small plus.
For the legal field, yes, keep it. It is a plus. Lawyers pay attention to those things.

Keep it. it won't hurt and, with the right person, it could help. There are people who care about this stuff years later.

I would leave it on. #1 is impressive. It's obviously at the bottom of your resume (as you've mentioned), and is only a single line. It's worth keeping it there.

These “hiring managers” that are chiming in and saying to take it off clearly do not work at law firms. OP you should absolutely leave your class rank on your resume as law firms will eat it up.
