Thoughts on these student review based rankings?

This is a ranking for JD, right?

Yup! But based on student reviews so a bit different from traditional rankings, no?

It's in fact very different from the traditional rankings. Any official response from the schools that traditionally rank high?

Hmmm not that I've seen but will keep you posted.

Great! Thanks!

Well, keep in mind two things:

1) JD programs and LLM programs of universities are VERY different. Usually LLMs get less care and attention, so you might want to find out from your friends or forums how much importance a specific school gives to their LLM program.

2) This kind of "alternative" reviews are nice and fun, but at the end, employers don't give a s*** about them and at the end it all comes down to "official" and traditional rankings again.

Good luck!
