There’s many other rankings of law schools. Some, including XploreJD and MyRank, enable students to create customized rankings. Others permit students to assess a school’s “value add” using certain metrics. See Christopher J. Ryan, Jr., A Value-Added Ranking of Law Schools, 29 U. Fla. JL & Pub. Pol’y 285 (2018); Jason Scott & Joshua Jackson, What Is Quality? Advancing Value-Added Approaches to Assessing Law School Bar Exam Performance, SSRN (2022); Christopher J. Ryan, Jr. & Derek T. Muller, The Secret Sauce: Examining Law Schools That Overperform on the Bar Exam, 75 Florida L. Rev. 65 (2023). And many rankings try to assess academic and research quality of faculty. See, e.g., Matthew Sag, Forward Looking Academic Impact Rankings for U.S. Law Schools, 51 Fla. St. L. Rev. 763 (2024); Gregory Sisk et al., Scholarly Impact of Law School Faculties in 2024: Updating the Leiter Score Ranking for the Top Third, SSRN (last revised May 5, 2025). Publications, like National Jurist, have their own law school rankings in various substantive areas, so too do Princeton Review, College Consensus (50 Best Law Schools for 2025), and Law.com’s “Go-To Law Schools: Big Law” report.
