I’ll go out and a limb and say that as Research Dean at Pitt, I think that Paul Caron’s “Google Rank” list of U.S. law schools is more than a curiosity. Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that a school’s Google Rank is one very crude measure of the impact that its faculty, students, and alumni are having?
Harvard, Yale, and Stanford occupy the top three spots. In a modest surprise, the University of North Dakota School of Law pops up at number 11. (By linking to UND, do I help keep the school aloft?) Perhaps UND has a remarkable impact in the Peace Garden State.
Updated 11/07/07: Al Brophy suggests running this search in Google: “”law school” OR “school of law” OR “college of law” OR “law center†site:.edu”
Georgia State floats to number 4!
Thanks for the great post!
Here’s another ranking:
