Harvard Law School Abandons U.S. News Rankings | News | The Harvard Crimson

Harvard Law School will stop participating in the U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings, the school announced Wednesday.

Update. Five major US law schools have now stopped participating in the US News World and World Report rankings:

#Yale, #Harvard, #Berkeley, #Columbia, and #Georgetown (apparently in this order).

#LawSchools, #rankings

@petersuber I didn't quite understand why this was a big deal. But the show I work on did this segment, which helped a lot:

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen this good interview.
@petersuber sure thing! I followed up on your home page, and tried to d/l "knowledge unbound" as an epub or mobi, and those links are goofed atm fyi. May want to notify relevant parties - seems to be the dropbox hosted ones that are problematic.

@syncretist Thanks for letting me know! I'll try to get updated URLs from @themitpress.

Meantime you can find an #openaccess edition of the full book here (chapter by chapter HTML and PDF).
