Lots of things happened while I was in Israel, including the annual release of the US News law school rankings. Of course, we’re interested in the ADR rankings, which are based on peer assessment as compared to the USNews overall law school rankings which are based on a formula that’s always controversial. Without any further adieu, here they are in their entirety. Congratulations to all, most notably Pepperdine which tops the rankings for another year.
1. Pepperdine
2. Harvard
3. Hamline
4. Missouri
5. Ohio State
6. Marquette and Cardozo (tie)

Quick question- the list is top 20… But out of how many? I honestly have no idea but there is a big difference if it is out of say, 30 compared to 70.
Congratulations to UC Hastings, where I received my LL.M. Degree. This law school has a terrific ADR program and wonderful professors!
