Given this as an LLM forum, wouldn't it make more sense to quote the law rankings page?

http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2011/subject-rankings/social-sciences/law

1. Harvard
2. Oxford
3. Cambridge
4. Yale
5. Stanford
6. Berkeley
7. LSE
8. Columbia
9. Melbourne
10. NYU

But who would pick universities (especially for graduate programmes in law) based on rankings anyway?
