The US News & World Report law school rankings have been released. The rankings were delayed, and a large number of law schools declined to participate this year. The methodology of the ranking has also changed: the outcomes of employment and successful bar exam passage were more heavily weighted, while LSAT scores and undergraduate GPAs of incoming students were still included but less heavily weighted.

The Top 10 ranked law schools were:

No. 1 (tie) - Stanford Law School & Yale Law School
No. 2 - The University of Chicago Law School
No. 3 - University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
No. 4 (tie) - Harvard Law School & NYU School of Law & Duke Law School
No. 5 (tie) - Columbia Law School & University of Virginia School of Law
No. 6 (tie) - UC Berkeley School of Law & Northwestern Law & University of Michigan Law School
No. 7 - Cornell Law School
No. 8 - UCLA School of Law
