Law Blog – WSJ.com: Do the U.S. News Rankings Matter?:
Cameron Stracher’s essays on the legal profession, which often appear in the WSJ, have been the subject of some of our more provocative posts. Today Stracher, a professor at New York Law, continues his run with a WSJ op-ed picking apart the U.S. News & World Report’s rankings.
