Yale Once Again Tops U.S. News Law School Rankings

The U.S. News & World Report rankings for top U.S. law schools was released late Wednesday night and here’s the top 20, which isn’t much changed from a year ago.

Yale continued its dominance atop the rankings and, in fact, the top four schools remain unchanged. University of Chicago, moving up to No. 5, is one of four schools that moved up or down a single spot from a year ago. The other notable change is George Washington University coming in at No. 20. That knocked Boston University, Emory University and University of Minnesota, which tied for the final spot last year, out of the Top 20.
