Heather Gerken, dean of Yale Law School, criticized U.S. News & World Report's methodology and argued that the list actively perpetuates disparities in law schools.
Yale Law School, one of the premier law schools in the country, has topped the U.S. News & World Report’s list of best law schools for decades. Now, the school is bowing out. Every year, U.S. News releases a list of the country’s best colleges, including a list of the best law schools, using data submitted by the school. This list is then used by students and employers to judge the merits of the college or university.
“As part of our mission, we must continue to ensure that law schools are held accountable for the education they will provide to these students and that mission does not change with this recent announcement.” Still, Gerken argued that the magazine actively discourages law schools from providing aid, by placing heavy emphasis on LSAT and GRE scores, as well as GPAs.
