U.S. News & World Report will change its law school ranking system after most top law schools announced they were boycotting the rankings due to concerns about metrics that emphasize reputation and disincentivize support for public-interest careers. The new system will give less emphasis to reputation surveys based on peer assessments by academics, lawyers and judges and more emphasis to outcomes such as employment and bar-passage rates. Additionally, U.S. News & World Report will no longer consider student debt at graduation, school spending per student or employment at graduation. The ABA Journal has the story.
