Former T14 Law School’s Rankings Tumble Gets The Classic Spin Treatment

Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

The change in our ranking is a result of shifts in the U.S. News formula, ‌not any ⁠meaningful change in Berkeley Law.

—  Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, in comments given to Reuters, concerning UC Berkeley School of Law’s tumble in the latest edition of the U.S. News law school rankings. Berkeley has been a mainstay in the T14 since the 90s, but the school landed at No. 16 in this year’s version of the rankings.
