There is so much variation year-to-year beyond the top 15. What value do these rankings even have? All non-top 15 schools are essentially different variations of the same school--strong regional law schools. Perhaps as you get past 100, things might change more. But is UC Irvine so different from UC Davis that it warrants 42 instead of 55? Signed a bitter King Hall grad.

Maybe I am stuck in the past, but I will never consider Duke better than Harvard, NYU or Columbia. I don't care what USNWR says!
