At least five leading law schools broke up this week with the U.S. News & World Report rankings, with Columbia Law and Georgetown Law on Friday joining the law schools at Yale, Harvard and Berkeley in ending their participation.
The rankings aren’t breaking up with them in return, however. U.S. News will continue to rank schools that choose not to provide it with their internal data, its chief data strategist Robert Morse said in a statement.
No. 4-ranked Harvard Law School followed suit hours later. The University of California, Berkeley School of Law, which is ranked No. 9,on Thursday. Columbia, which is tied with Harvard at No. 4, and No. 14-ranked Georgetown University Law Center did the same on Friday. Legal educators have also argued that the rankings overemphasize Law School Admission Test scores and undergraduate grade-point averages, prompting schools to offer merit scholarships over need-based assistance.
