University of Baltimore Law School's U.S. News & World Report Rankings
The University of Baltimore School of Law continues its path north as reflected in the 2010 U.S. News & World Report law school rankings. UB is back to the third tier of law schools.
I really think these ratings are silly. A large law school like the University of Baltimore is going to get skewed because larger schools, all things being equal, are going to be easier to get into which impacts the rankings. But the game is the game and the U.S. News and World Report rankings matter, for better or worse. So it is good to see UB continuing to compete well.

So how to you account for Harvard and Georgetown, both T14 schools? Georgetown is annually the largest or second-largest law school in the country. Harvard is right up there. Likewise, Hastings, which switches back and forth with GU for largest, is a Top Tier school.

The reality is that Harvard, GU, Berkley, these are famed national academic institutions. I'm not saying big school can't be great schools. I'm saying great size makes it harder. Cut UB to the same size as many other law school and your are going to see a stunning rise is LSATs and GPAs.
