The ones to rank law schools are employers

Article Abstract:

The U.S. News and World Report annual ranking of law schools and an alternative ranking proposed by Brian Leiter of the University of Texas School of Law have received much attention, but the opinions of employers who hire what the law schools graduate are what really count. The weight given to such opinion by U.S. News is difficult to tell, but is probably well below 10%. Both law students and lawyers are frustrated with the obsession with ratings and employers' opinions are the best alternative. A survey should be weighted to reflect hiring patterns.
