While members of the legal academy have disparate views about the U.S. News & World Report law school rankings, there is strong agreement that they are influential. University leadership, alumni, students, applicants, employers, and legal academics not only pay attention but also make significant decisions based upon the rankings. Adding further interest was the announcement that a new ranking based on faculty scholarship is forthcoming. In this session, Kellye Testy, former AALS President, law school dean and now LSAC President & CEO will host a conversation and Q&A with Robert Morse, the chief data strategist for U.S. News & World Report about all things “rankings.” Please attend for a lively session with an opportunity to hear directly from the architect of the law school rankings.
