Dammit. I knew I should have gone to Law School at UA.

Bama looks to be great value
The irony here is that the Law school building is one of the very few buildings, old and new, on campus that looks dated of ugly 1970's architecture.

That's logical, they only had an 80+ % passage rate last July
These lists are arbitrary nonsense.

. This should tell you how much of a joke the rankings are... 22 spots?
The big fluctuations aren't that numerous. They are usually indicative of recent poor employment #s, a subpar incoming class (LSAT, GPA, Acceptance %) or a combination of the two.
The two factors that shouldnt matter much (but do) "Peer Assessment Score" and "Assessment by Judges and Lawyers" are not prone to fluctuate substantially from year to year.The same survey is going to a very similar group of people. Their prejudices exist generally from year to year
When a school falls hard its because of employment or the 1Ls.
But you are right it is stupid that LSU, or any other school gets publicly shamed like this for 1 year. They should release rankings every 2-3 years or so IMO.
I guess rankings matter because prospective students love em. For me there is only one set of statistics i would care about. That is employment #s
Methodology For Those Interested

Ya it is hard to believe that is not factored in anywhere, yet the legal community's opinion of a school is weighted .4
Edit: It is factored in .02, but the same point remains

looking back, I'm so glad I had shitty numbers and couldn't afford to worry about these silly rankings. I was just hoping someone would accept me

If you get to and end that includes a job, who the hell cares

Check and check.
It all ended up working out fine for me.

LSU falls from #72 last year to 94.
Tulane falls to #50
Edit: Ole Miss #94, Alabama #22, UGA #26
So LSU and Ole Miss are equally bad?
WTF?

I'm actually going to law school next year and am accepted into UW in Seattle and LSU and the whole budget cuts thing at LSU is making me actually consider leaving the state.
Are the coming cuts supposed to hamper LSU even further? It's ridiculous that our state continues to cut education funding despite already being near-last in the category.

You would be nuts not to go to UW. LSU's law school isn't a widely respected law school whereas UW is pretty highly regarded nationally. The budget cuts are only going to worsen LSU law's plight for the next four or five years.

That's your only 2 options? Quite the geographical split there sir.

And once again, the Top 14 stay exactly the same.

Alabama law grads say the federal courts don't matter?
I love reading NY Times v Sullivan for yucks about the Alabama law school graduates.
22?
Seriously?

Ya, i think it will always be the same 14 for the foreseeable future
But Michigan sliding out of the top ten is all the buzz on the legal blogs...

Ole Miss is only getting better. They went from unranked a few years back to top 100 this year. LSU just shitting the bed all around
