Subject: Legal Writing? WTF is this crap?

According to U.S. News & World Report, “these are the top law schools for legal writing programs.”

#1 Seattle University

#2 John Marshall Law School, Chicago, IL

#3 Mercer University (George)

#3 University of Nevada‒Las Vegas

#5 Arizona State University (O'Connor)

#5 Stetson University

#5 Suffolk University

#5 Temple University (Beasley)

#5 University of Oregon

#10 Indiana University‒Indianapolis

#11 Duquesne University

#11 University of Denver (Sturm)

#11 Washburn University

Serious question - wtf is this? These are all bonafide TTTs. (Especially John Marshall....)

Are the Legal Writing programs some sort of remedial composition courses for the bottom-feeding suction eels that inhabit these TTTs?

If some layidiot saw these rankings, they might assume someone from John Mushroom is a better writer than Yale grads.

Halp me wrap my pea-brain around this insanity!

"They have one of the best trial advocacy programs as well. "

I love this flame.

Considering I competed in trial advocacy all throughout my time in LS, I never once saw Stetson win/place high in a national/international competition.

you guys are missing the point

US News does this so these TTT schools can market the ranking, thus increasingly enrollment, an thus helping US News create more interest in the rankings

cr, these rankings give applicants some olive branch of credibility allowing them to rationalize their decision to attend. "I'm really interested in trial advocacy, and they have a nationally ranked program in that, so it really made sense for me."

I can't tell you how many people use that bullshit, "#1 in Environmental law" to justify going to high-priced BS schools.
