On November 17th, Super Lawyers released a ranking of law schools. The schools were ranked by the number of graduates selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers in 2009. Cumulative research and peer evaluation scores were used to break ties between schools. The approach from Super Lawyers is intriguing. Instead of ranking schools based on things like the size of their library or how much money they spend on students, this list attempts to rank schools based on the number of quality lawyers they produce. Of course, the weight you give these rankings depends significantly on the weight you give a lawyer’s inclusion in Super Lawyers magazine.

Check out all 180 law schools here.
