Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
[T]hey
are
so
arbitrary
as
to
have
no
meaning
to
me
anymore.
[Harvard
Law
School]
at
six?
Columbia
and
NYU
at
eight?
I
don’t
know
what
analysis
can
really
be
done
at
this
point
other
than
to
comment
that,
as
usual,
these
are
wholly
made
up
by
U.S.
News.
They
set
the
methodology
so
they
choose
what
to
prioritize,
and
they
are
consistently
suspicious
at
the
top
while
changing
wildly
for
lower-ranked
schools.

Killoran,

of
Powerscore
Test
Preparation, in
comments
given
to
Law.com,
on
the
recently
released
U.S.
News
law
school
rankings.
In
the
latest
version
of
the
rankings,
17
law
schools
are
ranked
within
the
Top
14,
with
Cornell
being
dropped
and
four
schools
—
Georgetown,
UT-Austin,
Vanderbilt,
and
Washington
University
in
St.
Louis
—
now
tied
at
No.
14.
