Following Yale Law School’s decision earlier this week to boycott law school rankings published by U.S. News, three additional law schools have announced they will do so as well. Harvard Law School, University of California Berkeley Law School and Georgetown University Law Center now say they will not participate in the rankings either. Berkeley Dean Erwin Chemerinsky says the rankings are “profoundly inconsistent” with the school’s “values and public mission” and penalize schools that help students launch careers in public service law. U.S. News & World Report said it has no plans to change its goals for the rankings. Reuters has more about Georgetown’s decision while Bloomberg looks at Berkeley’s move.
