Continuing my coverage of the 2010 U.S. News Law School Rankings: I turn next to the Placement Success component, which counts 20% in the U.S. News methodology. The chart below compares the Employed at Graduation data (4%) with the school's overall ranking. 64 law schools did not supply U.S. News with this data.
