Law School Rankings
The U.S. News and World Report's regularly publishes a list of the "Top 100 Law Schools" based on various quantitative factors, e.g., faculty publishing statistics, entering student LSAT scores, percentage of alumni contributing money. Also, Professor Brian Leiter complies a regular series of evaluations called "Brian Leiter's Law School Reports" in which he and other commentators discuss law schools. More recently, Vault, famous for developing a listing of the prestigious "Vault 100" law firms, has developed a ranking system based on "a unique emphasis on employability". In general, these rankings are controversial, not universally accepted as authoritative, and frequently used for a variety of purposes, i.e., alumni contribution appeals.

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or school:
“But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
