I previously blogged the law schools that are ranked significantly higher for U.S News purposes than their parent universities.  The flip side, of course, are the law schools that are ranked significantly lower than their parent universities [click on chart to enlarge]:

I have used percentiles rather than absolute ranks because U.S News ranks more national universities (262) than law schools (184)   I have assigned schools in Tier 3 and Tier 4 the percentile ranking of the midpoint of those tiers because U.S. News does not disclose the actual rank of those schools.
