U.S. News and World Report just released 2022’s law school rankings, with some notable changes including a brand-new addition to the “Top 14.”

There’s also some new methodology in play . . . or is there, really? Jelena & Branden discussed what’s new, what’s old, and what should have been left in 2020, as well as how prospective law students can interpret these rankings.

  • Which law school jumped 16 spots to land in the Top 100 for the very first time
  • Why USNWR scrapped their plans to release a diversity ranking for law schools
