When the Princeton law school rankings came out last year, we were in the middle of rankings delirium. This delirium involved a lot of whining about how US News has too much power, how arbitrary the whole process is, how prestige-obsessed law school administrators are, etc.
I was visibly disappointed by how non-controversial the Princeton 2009 rankings were. The most exciting part of Princeton's rankings was the methodology, which seemed to be a "burn on US News." Well, I'm even more bored this year, because they've ditched the methodology in favor of a lengthy "User Guide" that says nothing remotely snide about "other rankings." Snore.
Regardless, I bring you this year's Princeton rankings, with very little fanfare, courtesy of The AmLaw Daily:
Best Career Prospects -- Northwestern University School of Law
Best Classroom Experience -- The University of Texas at Austin School of Law
Best Environment for Minority Students -- University of Hawaii at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law
Best Quality of Life -- University of Virginia School of Law
Most Liberal Students -- City University of New York--Queens College CUNY School of Law
Most Conservative Students -- Brigham Young University J. Reuben Clark Law School
Most Competitive Students -- Baylor University School of Law
Most Diverse Faculty -- Florida International University College of Law
Most Chosen By Older Students -- City University of New York
Best Professors -- University of Chicago Law School
Toughest To Get Into -- Yale University Law School
You can check out the rest of each of those lists here.
This ranking still seems sort of arbitrary. How exactly do you measure the best teachers or the best environment for a minority student?

Thanks for all of the hard work on this web site. I admit, I have not been on this website in a long time, however it was joy to find it again. It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals! I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.

Stephon Marbury and Keith Van Horn had become stars in New Jersey. Marbury made the All-NBA 3rd Team in 2000 and his very first All-Star Game in 2001. But despite his individual efforts, constant injuries hindered the team's chemistry and the Nets failed to reach to the playoffs in each of Marbury's seasons as a starter.

thanks for the information from this year ranking, maybe this is the best ranking in previous years, in fact and according to some friends of mine, this year could be the new record for this institute.
