"U.S. News" Alters Its Rankings of Law Schools After Finding Numerous Errors.
Geraghty, Mary
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n27 pA38 Mar 14 1997
Mistakes made by "U.S. News and World Report" in calculating law school job placement rates have resulted in erroneous rankings of 33 of 50 top schools. For most schools, the revision resulted in movement of only a place or two, but two rankings changed significantly. Educators have long been critical of the rankings, citing a false precision in ranking institutions. (MSE)
