2010 Princeton Review Law School Rankings: Most (and Least) Accessible Professors

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 Accessible Rating: Based on law student opinion. We asked law students to rate how accessible the law faculty members at their schools are on a scale from 60 to 99.

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

	School	Score		School	Score
1	Mercer	99	146	Florida	70
	Pepperdine	99		Memphis	70
	Virginia	99		New York Law School	70
4	Boston Univ.	98		Suffolk	70
	Chapman	98	150	Arizona State	69
	Texas Tech	98		Loyola-New Orleans	69
7	CUNY	97	152	Arkansas-Fayetteville	68
	Wake Forest	97		Columbia	68
	Wash. & Lee	97	154	Rutgers-Newark	67
10	Regent	96		St. John's	67
	Samford	96	156	George Mason	66
	Stanford	96		Miami	66
13	Alabama	95	158	Appalachian	65
	Ave Maria	95		Georgia State	65
	Loyola-L.A.	95	160	Hofstra	64
16	St. Thomas (Minn.)	94	161	Indiana - Indianapolis	63
	Texas Wesleyan	94		SUNY-Buffalo	63
	W. New England	94	163	Akron	62
19	Arizona	93		Nova	62
	BYU	93	165	Cornell	61
	Duke	93		Harvard	61
22	Chicago	92		John Marshall	61
	Kansas	92		Seattle	61
	New Mexico	92		SMU	61
25	Boston College	91		Southern	61
	Phoenix	91		UC-Hastings	61
	Texas	91		Yale	61

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.
