A final thought from NALP on law school rankings: NALP discourages the use of rating systems or rank-ordered lists in evaluating law schools. Law schools are defined by many different, yet often related, characteristics whose significance and relationship to a particular organization vary from year to year. For example, no rigid ranking of law schools can quantify the subjective value of education at each school; the quality of teaching cannot be quantified on a national basis.
