More law schools have announced that they are pulling out of rankings by U.S. News & World Report because of concerns that they discourage programs to support public-interest careers. Yale Law School, which has been ranked No. 1 since the inception of the rankings, was first to make such an announcement. Since then, several law schools have followed, incluiding Harvard Law School, the University of California at Berkeley School of Law, Stanford Law School, the Georgetown University Law Center, Columbia Law School, the University of Michigan Law School, the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, the Duke University School of Law and the University of California at Irvine School of Law. Read more from the ABA Journal about why schools are taking this step and why some lower-ranked institutions are reluctant to withdraw.
