Opinion by James Forman Jr.: 3 reasons Yale Law was right to quit the U.S. News rankings
James Forman Jr. is Yale’s J. Skelly Wright professor of law and faculty director of the Yale Law and Racial Justice Center.of U.S. News & World Report’s annual law school rankings. Many people were shocked. After all, Yale has perennially been No. 1 in the 30-plus years since the rankings first appeared. Why quit a system that has brought so much glory?Because the U.S. News rankings are somewhere between silly and demented — they harm law schools, applicants and graduates.
In response to this problem, some schools have developed fellowships to pay graduates for the first year or two at civil rights firms or legal aid and public defender offices. I've lost count of the number of students who have gone on to fabulous social justice careers thanks to these fellowships. . Each spring, I speak to admissions officers about the fellows in our program. These are compelling applicants who have overcome hurdles most of us can’t imagine. They will bring dramatically different life experiences to law school and the legal profession. Most admissions directors get it; they’ve read the file and seen the grit and perseverance jump off the page.
