: The Faculty LoungeUS News Law School Ranking Headlines
By Dan Filler
US News makes lots of money by producing its annual graduate school rankings. But the content US News creates gets repackaged and reported by loads of other media outlets. US News quite literally produces the news when it fabricates its annual rankings. And the local media cover these stories very seriously. I wondered what sorts of headlines I'd find by doing a Google search of "law school ranked"...and here are a bunch of the ones that surfaced. No wonder every law school dean waits and worries when the US News rankings are a-comin'. And every law school dean ought to beware about flogging good news too aggessively...lest his or her constituents get very angry the next year if a chill wind blows.
