US
News
and
World
Report
released
its
most
recent
law
school
rankings
with
a
side
of
chaos,
but
the
big
takeaway
is
the
scrambling
and
erosion
of
the
“T14”
as
an
organizing
concept.
Is
it
time
to
dismiss
the
rankings
as
arbitrary?
At
least
until
law
schools
agree
to
cooperate
again.
Also,
Surrendergate
continues
and
the
“we’ll
do
some
pro
bono
for
veterans”
deal
has
turned
dramatically,
with
the
White
House
now
claiming
the
authority
to
“assign”
Biglaw
firms
to
work
on
administration
projects.
Sound
familiar?
Along
the
way,
firms
are
starting
to
lose
senior
lawyers
fulfilling
critical
firm
roles
while
the
most
recent
defectors
alienate
the
overwhelming
majority
of
their
team.
Finally,
the
Supreme
Court
has
issued
some
unanimous
rebukes
in
defense
of
due
process
and
the
administration
does
not
seem
to
care.
