The Discussion Group will focus on law school rankings with a specific
focus on U.S. News rankings. The goals of the program include: reaching an
understanding of whether the existing methodology used to rank law schools is
normatively good; if the methodology is deemed not “good,” then reaching an
understanding of changes that might be made; and discussants might also address
whether law schools should continue to submit information to third parties for
ranking purposes. In discussing these topics, many of the speakers will critically engage with the proposed discussion topics from anti-racist, diversity, equity, and inclusion perspectives.
