School Snobbery
David Giacalone has a thoughtul entry on the absurdity of law school rankings. (Yes, I was pleased to see that my alma mater ranked in the top 20, barely). He focuses on the importance that professors — even more than prospective students — attach to these ratings. I would wonder, however, whether it is not appeal to the alumni — and their money — that drives the frenzy of deans and faculty over ratings.
