This is the end all - be all of law school rankings for prospective students: schools' ability to place in the big firms during the "great depression" is a proxy for quality. End of story.
On another note...Where's Loyola Los Angeles? I thought they were a big law partner juggernaut??? They can't manage to place 10.57% of the class in big firms? They aren't in the top 50??? Buyer beware!

Hmmmmmmm... it's worth noting this methodological footnote from the original pdf: "The ranking does not reflect law school graduates who took jobs as judicial clerks after graduation," AKA top schools get penalized for having high clerkship rates.
