U.S. News & World Report’s law school rankings have little impact on the decision-making of aspiring lawyers, according to a new study by two law professors. Reuters reports that University of Kentucky law professor Brian Frye and Indiana University law professor Christopher Ryan investigated whether the academic credentials of entering classes rose or fell in correlation with a law school's rise or fall in the rankings in the previous year. The study, according to the researchers, found little to no correlation between ranking changes and the behavior of applicants.
