Today’s guest blogger is John Gerboth, a bankruptcy and family law lawyer with Arenstein & Andersen Co. in Dublin, Ohio.
As I read Vivia Chen’s critique of the U.S. News & World Report law school rankings, I was thinking it was a fair analysis of the trends and inner workings of this all-important list. But then, at the end of her post, she writes:
If you’re aiming for Big Law, I wouldn’t bother with most schools beyond the top 20 and possibly top 25. And if you just want a decent job, I’d draw the line at the top 50. As for those schools ranked between 51 to 100—well, I hope you really want to be a lawyer—any kind of lawyer.
And if you’re thinking of going to a law school ranked below 100? I hope you come to your senses.
