This year the USNews rankings came out with little fanfare, or the fanfare was that they were on the cusp of being released and then weren’t for 6 weeks or more as they corrected their data.  And once they did come out, it seemed that no one noticed.  But others did not (tip of the cap Tax Prof Blog).  As you can see, there is noted movement at the top as the 15 year Ohio State / Pepperdine wrestling match for the top spot has ended with Harvard taking the crown.  And welcome to the top 5 Cardozo, the first time in forever anyone outside of the perennial top 5 of OSU/Pepperdine/Harvard/Missouri/Mitchell-Hamline appears there.

Happy reading and congrats to all.
