In Reply To: after doing my homework, i have harvard to be the biggest fraud amongsts law school. If u go by the rankings the have: 83rd best faculty 123rd best student to faculty Lets face the facts, Harvard law is a product of history... it is well known so they get every applicant to apply to there school, which makes them look good on these bogus USNews rankings. Isnt law school about learning,and if they have such a high ratings shouldnt they have a lot better teachers. Seems like a joke to me. (stats are found on mylawschoolrankings.com which gets their info from princeton review)
Message: Harvard law generates grads that the marketplace hires at a high rate. The marketplace favors Harvard grads. Anyone who imagines a Harvard credential lacks value is mistaken. I take it your post is merely meant to provoke, and provoke it seems to have done. But mylawschoolrankings.com is not considered a definitive evaluation of law schools any more than is usnews.com. It's a provoking post, and hence interesting, but "fraud" is a strong word to bandy about this way.
