As has been posted, National Jurist recently announced its “Top Schools for Government Law.” The methodology is described as follows:

“preLaw magazine grades law schools based on the breadth of their curricular offerings. The scores are figured as follows: 30% for a concentration, 24% for a clinic, 12% for a center, 12% for an externship, 9% for a journal, 8% for a student group, 5% for a certificate and added value for additional offerings.”

It is true that the ranking seeks to measure top schools in teaching government law. I wonder what the ranking would be if the rankings considered the number of alums in government employment. It seems that that would be an important factor in being a top law school in government law.
