U.S. News & World Report on Thursday released its new law school rankings, capping off unprecedented tumult over the annual list that included a boycott by nearly a third of law schools and a more than three-week delay caused by data problems.
The culmination of the boycott, delay and revisions may have hurt the long-term credibility of the U.S. News law school rankings, said Mike Spivey, a law school admissions consultant.
The final rankings show Stanford Law School and Yale Law School tied at the No. 1 spot, as they were in the preview, with the University of Chicago School of Law holding steady at No. 3. But Harvard Law School, which was No. 4 in the preview, slipped to No. 5 in the final ranking — it’s lowest since 1990 when it was also in the No. 5 spot.
Duke Law School and New York University School of Law are tied at No. 5 — both up from their No. 6 spot on the preview. Duke’s gain was the largest among the 14 top-ranked schools, moving up five spots from No. 11 on last year’s list.
