In this episode, Christopher J. Ryan, Jr., Associate Professor of Law at Roger Williams School of Law, discusses his extensive scholarship on law school rankings. Ryan uses econometric and statistical tools to evaluate a range of different data in order to help better understand legal education. In his article "A Value-Added Ranking of Law Schools," he uses data on incoming classes as well as data on bar passage and job placement to determine how schools affect the predicted performance of their students. And in his articles "A Revealed-Preferences Ranking of Law Schools" and "The 2018 Revealed-Preferences Ranking of Law Schools" (co-authored with Brian L. Frye), he created the first "subjective" ranking of law schools, designed to determine how effectively schools appeal to prospective students. Ryan discusses why rankings are valuable, useful tools for students, law schools, and policymakers, and also describes some of his forthcoming scholarship.
