Robert Morse, Director of Data Research at U.S. News & World Report, blogs the recently released 2010 Law School Rankings in The Law School Rankings Debate Rages On:

Our recently published 2010 America's Best Graduate Schools rankings have triggered a growing debate about how to rate grad schools and what factors should be used.

It's not a surprise that the new law school rankings have been the focus of such conversations, given the nature of legal education and the large number of law blogs. We welcome these discussions. Check out the blogs Above the Law and TaxProf for some of the best coverage and reactions to the law school rankings. Paul Caron, editor of the TaxProf blog, has published some interesting alternative rankings using data from our latest law school rankings. In addition, Prof. Brian Leiter's Law School Reports continue to offer sophisticated commentary and criticism as well as suggestions on how to improve the rankings. Leiter also does his own law rankings.
