Part of the US News and World Report law school rankings leaked. AAC schools accounted for four schools in the top 50. SMU, Temple, and Houston all saw their rankings increase. Tulane held their spot. Once the rest of the list comes out, I'll be curious to see if Connecticut can sneak up closer to the 50 mark. They're not far from it.

Good. Maybe this will increase our TV deal and create NY6 bowl access.

Always good news.

Very good news and a continuation of why this conference has respect from the haves.!

Beasley is a fantastic law school, and would shoot up in the rankings if they got a new building.

Our Law School was top 40 back in 2000 but we had a tropical storm that put 8 ft. of water in the law building. Its taken a while to get back to where it once was. The Law school should continue to climb going forward.

I went to law school at Loyola New Orleans but I did transfer and take my last semester at Temple University Beasley School of Law's satellite campus in Tokyo (TUJ). The only ABA accredited law school in Asia at the time. It was the best decision of my life. The professors, students and all faculty were great and I learned a lot about Japanese law as well as international law in general. Just a great experience and I really enjoyed Tokyo!

Me too - went to night school at Loyola while working full time.
I went in the early 90s.... maybe 5K a semester if I recall.

Wow! I graduated in 2010 and it was about 36k per year but I just checked and now it's over 43k.

Hell, the tuition for my undergraduate degree was $6,900 when I started in 2006 and one decade later it is $11,700. The perks of having a governor who hates education. Luckily my MS was grant funded and my PhD was paid for due to my employment...otherwise I would've been much less likely to get them.

As for the Law School topic at hand, Cincinnati has been dropping like an anvil lately...they were top 5p back when I started at Cincinnati, but now I don't even think they're top 75. The move downtown will likely help move that ranking in the right direction again.

College was affordable until we decided that every snowflake needed to go in order to be happy and successful....

You are correct sir!

College was affordable back when dorms were cinder block and bathrooms were shared by 40 people. Back when the gym was literally 13 pieces of broken equipment rather than one with rock climbing walls, yoga studios, pilates rooms, and resort pools. When dining halls were cafeteria style with maybe a salad bar or cereal bar if you were lucky rather than one with cooking stations, sushi options, and 38 national chains on campus.

College isn't more expensive because more people are going, its more expensive because there's a rat race to land your brat with parking garages, dorms with private bathrooms for freshman, sushi rolls, pilates classes, covered walkways, bowling alleys, movie theaters, and in some cases, freaking maid service.

UC Law jumped 22 spots and is back up to 60 this year. I have no idea how that's even possible.

Are you sure about that? I'm seeing #82.

My doctor was talking to me about his son wanting to go to law school, his reply was why do that lawyers are a dine a dozen. Point is I wonder if it is well respected.
