2010 U.S. News Placement Success Rankings (v. Overall Rankings)

I previously blogged the three Placement Success components of the 2010 U.S. News Law School Rankings, which together count 20% in the U.S. News methodology:

• Employed Nine Months After Graduation (14%)
• Employed at Graduation (4%)
• Bar Passage Rate (2%)

The Placement Success ranking below weights the Employed at Nine Months, Employed at Graduation, and Bar Passage individual ranks according to the U.S. News methodology (70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively):
