The Ranking Sham

The human condition, in my opinion, is the desire to differentiate ourselves from our peers; the desire to be just a tad bit better than the Jones across the street. When I first began my law school application process I did the most “reasonable” thing a person in my position could, I resorted to the internet to see what the rest of the world thought was a good law school. The magic name, “T-14” kept popping up everywhere. It seemed the Internet savvy legal scholars were of the opinion that if one did not make it into a top 14 law school these days then the jig was up. We were in a rough economy and “supposedly” only those golden 14 law schools who had always held those top 14 spots in the rankings had the firepower to deliver jobs to their student. The higher up the list you landed the better of you were. I mean how else was the world supposed to know who the rising legal eagles were if not for this list?
