Fun new law school rankings

I happened upon a new set of law school rankings that I found interesting. Just so you don’t get your hopes up, it only showed the top 50, and our beloved South Texas didn’t make the cut (though I have it on good authority that we are 51st). It starts off normally enough with Harvard in 1st; granted Yale is normally first, but you can’t go wrong with HLS. Our buddies in Austin managed number 5, while Yale only made it to 6. Things get progressively worse when the University of Chicago (39) only beats U of H by one place.

Though I enjoy any ranking that says I was accepted to a better school than Stanford or Duke, this ranking is pure idiocy. I know what you’re thinking: either “such an apocalyptically bad ranking must be made by idiots” or “Sam is a beautiful, beautiful man.”* You’re right on both accounts. This list was put out by the only school that is arguably worse than TSU: the good people at Thomas Cooley Law School. Apropos, it should be noted that Cooley was objectively ranked at number 18. No wonder the ABA is attempting to revoke the school accreditation.

*Whily you were no doubt thinking “Sam deserves a Pulitzer for this marvelous Civ Pro themed blog, I must humbly concede that P-Man’s blog is a better choice. It has its own mugs; that’s just cool.
