Only organized and contextualized data can provide meaningful information. The BCG Attorney Search Guide to America’s Top 50 Law Schools is a comprehensive overview of America’s 7RSODZVFKRROVDVLGHQWLoHGE\WKH2007 U.S. News & World Report Law School rankings. The purpose of this Guide is to provide readers with information that is useful and easily accessible. A meticulously compiled book, it is a publication of BCG Attorney Search, a Juriscape company.

We have done our best to provide you with consistent information about each of the Top 50 law schools. Your comments and suggestions, as well as updated information, are always welcome. 7 THE 2007 BCG ATTORNEY SEARCH GUIDE TO AMERICA’S TOP 50 LAW SCHOOLS Decoding Law School Rankings Separating the grain from chaff is never an easy task. At the end of the day, nobody is one hundred percent happy with the millers’ efforts. So is it with law school rankings in the U.S. Then why do it? One reason is to “rank for quality and for best value,” according to US News and World Report.1 We have these rankings as a starting point to provide you with useful information to compare and assess the top U.S. law schools. For potential law students, this information will help you make the most informed choice about which law schools to apply and to, perhaps, attend as a newly minted 1L. For recruiters, we have compiled this LQIRUPDWLRQWRKHOS\RXKLUHWKHEHVWDWWRUQH\VIRU\RXUoUPRUEXVLQHVV This year, the U.S. News & World ReportVOLJKWO\PRGLoHGWKHODZVFKRROUDQNLQJPHWKRGRORJ\$IWHU FRQVXOWLQJZLWKODZVFKRROSODFHPHQWRIoFLDOVWKHReport reduced the weight it previously assigned to HPSOR\PHQWUDWHVRIODZVFKRROJUDGVLPPHGLDWHO\XSRQoQLVKLQJWKHLUVWXGLHVDQGLQFUHDVHGWKHZHLJKW given to employment rates nine months after graduation.

Tied schools are listed alphabetically.2 Identifying Talent So how does one identify the “best” talent from the pool of law school graduates? The 2007 BCG Attorney Search Guide to America’s Top 50 Law Schools aims to aid in the process. You’ll have at your disposal the key markers that tell you how well a student has performed relative to his or her peers at other top law schools. One way to decipher comparative achievement is to look at honors distinctions an attorney may have earned, namely summa cum laude, magna cum laude, cum laude or with honors. We’ll tell you what these designations really mean, because they differ from law school to law school. You might also check to see if your candidate was a member of any honors societies, such as Order of the Coif or Law Review. But a caution LVLQRUGHUKHUH$JDLQTXDOLoFDWLRQVIRUPDNLQJODZUHYLHZGLIIHUGHSHQGLQJRQWKHODZVFKRROVRFRQVXOWRXU chapters to determine what these honors signify.3 Other important factors in identifying top schools and top graduates include the analyzing the average median undergrad GPA of a law school’s entering class, the average median LSAT of this class, the acceptance rate of the class (what percentage applications are actually appoved), and the library size. ,GHQWLI\LQJWKHEHVWODZVFKRROVLVSRVVLEOHE\LVRODWLQJDQXPEHURIREMHFWLYHDQGVXEMHFWLYHIDFWRUV9DOLGLW\ VWXGLHVFRQGXFWHGRYHUWKH\HDUVGHPRQVWUDWHWKDWWKH/6$7VFRUHFRQWULEXWHVVLJQLoFDQWO\WRWKHSUHGLFWLRQ of an applicant’s grades in law school and thus aids in the making of the admissions decision. These studies show that the LSAT score and the undergraduate grade-point average are the two best quantitative predictors of law school success, and that they are even more accurate when assessed together. College grades represent both academic competence and achievement, while the LSAT score largely indicates analytic ability, which is relevant to the study of law.4 The quality

It is designed to provide guidelines for the participating schools and law firms as well as an explanation of the program for potential participants. The program pairs law firms, solo practitioners, and corporate legal departments with public high schools.

Lawyers serve as role models and expose students to all law-related professions. The handbook provides a summary of the basic four-event Mentor program as well as of the activities and achievements of the lawyers, students, teachers, judges, and school officials involved the New York City and other Mentor programs around the country.

FEERICK ** Some sixteen years ago in the wake of the Watergate scandal and its Congressional hearings, the reputation of the legal profession fell to a very low ebb. The honor and integrity of "lawyering" became suspect in the popular imagination and among many in the profession as well. It was at this point that Louis Stein proposed the institution of a na- tional award to recognize those members of the profession whose careers exemplify outstanding standards of professional conduct, promote the advancement of justice and bring credit to the profession.

Feerick* It is with great honor and sadness that I join the Editors of the Fordham Intellectual Property, Media & Entertainment Law Journal in remembering the late William Hughes Mulli- gan. Bill Mulligan was a true Gaelic giant, who left his mark with the brush strokes of a gifted master. He was extraordi- narily accomplished in everything he did. To some, Bill Mulligan was a brilliant lawyer and jurist; to others, he was an outstanding educator and public speaker; but to all, he was a man devoted to his faith and country.
