2020 Law School Rankings Leak?

Spivey consulting posted a possible leak of the new USNWR “Best Law Schools” rankings on twitter. As to its origins, we are working on finding out more, but it has the feel of being from the source.

There’s a USNWR ranking floating around out there that includes sloppy metadata straight from the .xlsx it was taken from, along with material errors/omissions, so caveat emptor!— Derek T. Muller (@derektmuller) March 6, 2019
