2010 Princeton Review Law School Rankings: Best (and Worst) Teaching Faculties

Last week, I blogged the lists of the Top 10 law schools in eleven categories posted on Princeton Review's web site in connection with its publication of the 2010 edition of Best 172 Law Schools (with the University of Cincinnati College of Law on the cover).  The rankings are the result of Princeton Review's survey of 18,000 students at the 172 law schools, along with school statistics provided by administrators.

I have extracted from the individual profiles of the 172 law schools all of the available data to rank the schools in six categories. I will report each day on one of the ranking categories.

Professors Interesting Rating: Based on law student opinion. We asked law students to rate the quality of teaching at their law schools on a scale from 60 to 99.

Here are the law schools with the most and least interesting professors:

	School	Score		School	Score
1	Ave Maria	99	148	Hofstra	69
	Chicago	99		South Dakota	69
3	Boston University	98		Wyoming	69

	Fordham	89		Southern	62
	Georgetown	89		St. Mary's	62
	UCLA	89	172	Cornell	61
	William & Mary	89

Unfortunately, the Princeton Review did not release the response rate per school, so it is impossible to determine how the rankings are affected by each school's representation among the respondents.
