For all the hype about the ranking ABA approved law schools, you may be surprised that “[n]either LSAC nor the ABA condones, approves, or sanctions use of the collected data to rank law schools. Both organizations disapprove of all rankings of law schools.”
Is the LSAC and the ABA saying that all 194 of their schools are equal? Well, perhaps not exactly, but while they have no published ranking sytem of their own , they are quick to point out that ranking systems are inherently flawed because none of them can take your special needs and circumstances into account when comparing law schools.
And just what are those factors? Here is a list of factors LSAC feels are “entirely or severely undervalued by all of the numerical ranking systems. ”
Breadth and support of alumni network
Breadth of curriculum
Clinical programs
Collaborative research opportunities with faculty
Commitment to innovative technology
Cost
Externship options
Faculty accessibility
Intensity of writing instruction
Interdisciplinary programs
International programming
Law library strengths and services
Loan repayment assistance for low-income lawyers
Location
Part-time enrollment option
Public interest programs
Quality of teaching
Racial and gender diversity within the faculty and student body
Religious affiliation
Size of first-year classes
Skills instruction
Specialized areas of faculty
Looking over this list it becomes clear that these are some important factors that can and should be considered by candidtaes for ABA law schools. Still, it seems that law school ranking systemes are here to stay and popular ranking publications and websites such as US News and World Report and the popular Top Law Schools are here to stay and may not be so easily cast aside.
Better, in my opinion, is for prospective law students to a law schools to consider a school’s ranking, notwithstanding the systemic and inherent flaws in determining that raking — but then consider the highly relevant factors the LSAC attributes as being perhaps even more relevant.
