Abstract
Prospective law students across the United States are paying less attention and giving less credence to the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings of American law schools, according to new research from scholars at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law and University of Kentucky Rosenberg College of Law.
“The Decline and Fall of the U.S. News Rankings” was published this week on the Social Science Research Network by Indiana Law Professor CJ Ryan and Brian Frye, Kentucky’s Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law.
Contrary to what many in the legal education community believe, a rise in the U.S. News rankings one year does not mean the school becomes more attractive to prospective students in the next, according to Ryan and Frye.
