Ten of the 11 law school ranking lists either incorporate or are based entirely on law student opinions—so if the students at a particular school didn’t have a high degree of consensus in their responses to a particular survey question, then their school won’t appear on the corresponding top 10 list. Similarly, if a school doesn’t have especially strong numbers in a given category that incorporates school-reported statistics, then it won’t appear on that ranking list.
