Ranking Law Schools: A Market Test?, Cass R. Sunstein
Ranking Law Schools: A Market Test?, Cass R. Sunstein
Indiana Law Journal
Instead of ranking law schools through statistical aggregations of expert judgments or by combining a list of heterogeneous factors, it would be possible to rely on a market test simply by examining student choices. This tournament-type approach would have the large advantage of relying on the widely dispersed information that students actually have; it would also reduce reliance on factors that can be manipulated (and whose manipulation does no good other than to increase rankings). On the other hand, a market test has several problems as a measure of law school quality, partly because cognitive biases and social influences may …

In many job settings, there will be some promotion criteria that are less amenable to measurement than others. Often, what is difficult to measure is more important. For example, possessing "good judgment" under pressure may be a better predictor of success as a law firm partner than the ability to bill a vast amount of hours. The first puzzle that this essay explores is why, in some promotion settings, organizations appear to focus on less important, but measurable, criteria such as hours billed The answer lies in the relationship between the objectively measurable criteria, on the one hand, and the …

Student Quality As Measured By Lsat Scores: Migration Patterns In The U.S. News Rankings Era, William D. Henderson, Andrew P. Morris
Student Quality As Measured By Lsat Scores: Migration Patterns In The U.S. News Rankings Era, William D. Henderson, Andrew P. Morris
Indiana Law Journal
This study examines the change in entering-class median LSAT score, a key input into the U.S. News & World Report ("U.S. News') rankings, between 1993 and 2004. Using multivariate regression analysis, the authors model several factors that can influence the direction and magnitude of this change. The study presents six specific findings: (1) the market for high Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores is divided into two segments that operate under different rules; (2) initial starting position is a strong predictor of the future gain or loss in LSAT scores; (3) the allure of the high end corporate law firms …

Ranking Law Schools: Using Ssrn To Measure Scholarly Performance, Bernard S. Black, Paul L. Caron
Ranking Law Schools: Using Ssrn To Measure Scholarly Performance, Bernard S. Black, Paul L. Caron
Indiana Law Journal
There are several methods for ranking the scholarly performance of law faculties, including reputation surveys (U.S. News, Leiter); publication counts (Lindgren and Seltzer, Leiter); and citation counts (Eisenberg and Wells, Leiter). Each offers a useful but partial picture offaculty performance. We explore here whether the new "beta" SSRN-based measures (number of downloads and number ofposted papers) can offer a different, also useful, albeit also partial, picture. Our modest claim is that SSRNbased measures can address some of the deficiencies in these other measures and thus play a valuable role in the rankings tapestry. For example, SSRN offers real-time data covering …

Law School Rankings, Richard A. Posner
Indiana Law Journal
Rank ordering is a crude but economical method of conveying information that assists "consumers" (such as prospective law students) to make choices; hence the popularity of the law school rankings by U.S. News & World Report ("U.S. News'). However, U.S. News's rankings are vitiated by the arbitrary weights attached to the different factors on which the rankings are based. This paper explores a variety of alternatives, beginning with the mean LSAT score of the student body, and emphasizes that the design of a ranking system is relevant to the interest of the people whom the rankings are intended to guide. …
