We Don’t Pay Any Attention to the Rankings, Either

We’re shocked — shocked! — but it appears that law schools are taking the widely reviled U.S. News law-school rankings very seriously.  At the University of Houston, former dean Nancy Rappaport is quoted in the National Law Journal as saying that the school’s 20-point slide in the rankings since 2002 played a role in her departure.  More deans, says the Journal, are feeling the heat.
