2011 Princeton Review Law School Rankings: Most (and Least) Accessible Professors

I previously 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 2011 edition of Best 172 Law Schools (with the University of Cincinnati College of Law again 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	Duke	99	146	Capital	71
	Pepperdine	99		Chicago Kent	71
3	Boston University	98		Connecticut	71

5	Mercer	97		Indiana - Indianapolis	71
	Virginia	97		Southwestern	71

	Wake Forest	96		William Mitchell	71

10	Florida State	94		Miami	70
	Regent	94		Syracuse	70
12	Chapman	93	157	NY Law School	69
	Loyola-L.A.	93		West Virginia	69
	Samford	93	159	Cleveland State	68
	Stanford	93	160	Columbia	67
16	Alabama	92	161	St. John's	66
	St. Thomas (MN)	92	162	Hofstra	65

19	Arizona	91		George Mason	64
	Texas Wesleyan	91		Minnesota	64
	UC-Davis	91	166	SUNY-Buffalo	63
22	Chicago	90	167	Yale	62
	Creighton	90	168	Cornell	61
	Idaho	90		Harvard	61
	Kansas	90		John Marshall	61
	LSU	90		SMU	61
	New Mexico	90		Southern	61
	Northwestern	90
	Southern Illinois	90

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.
