After initially defending its new law school rankings system despite assigning a 20% weighting to the execrable ratemyprofessors.com, the National Jurist  is now backpedaling:

When
we were deciding which data to use to represent student satisfaction,
we carefully compared the Princeton Review and RateMyProfessor scores.
In the aggregate, we found a strong correlation between the two studies.

However,
some have now reported that the website includes non-law school faculty
and former faculty. We did an initial search of the website and found
that this was true for at least a few schools.

We
are now in the process of reviewing the data for every school,
searching by individual professor currently on staff. We hope to have
this review done by Feb. 19, at which time we will make any necessary
corrections to ensure a fair and accurate study. If we find that the
RateMyProfessor inaccuracies are significant and prevalent, we will
consider removing it as a data source from the study.

Jonathan Adler (Case Western) and Brian Leiter (Chicago) are not impressed. Leiter concludes:

As I indicated in an earllier post, I spoke with Mr. Crittenden just a
few weeks ago about what would be required to do a sensible alternative
to U.S. News.  He never let on that he and his staff had
already concocted this nonsense ranking, and that he was going to use my
quotes in an article accompanying this ranking, whose existence he had
not disclosed to me.  Mr. Crittenden is clearly not an honest man or
journalist.  He can only redeem his reputation by repudiating this whole
fiasco.

NJ was always a bit of a joke, a magazine so unneeded that it is
given away free in piles at every law school in the country (most copies
end up in the trash).  But now they've done something perniciously
stupid, which doesn't help students, and groundlessly defames dozens of
law faculties.  I hope it marks the end of a pointless magazine.
