On Newsstands – US News Rankings

By Casebook Sherpa On 03/31/08 · · In Law School Rankings

They’ve been out for about a week already, but the US News & World Report’s 2008 Law School Rankings are out on newsstands today. Our school’s response is muted and focuses (correctly in this PR Guy’s view) on the school’s year-to-year improvement. (Am I reading it right that we’re not [...]

By Casebook Sherpa On 03/18/08 · · In 1L
