<p>Very interesting.</p>

<p>I love 'Bama, but the validity of these ranking is dubious. Specifically, the article above states:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That said, UA’s law school is excellent and a terrific value, irrespective of where it’s ranked.</p>

<p>In the latest ranking by National Jurist, ratemyprofessors wasn’t used for UA, and UA still ranked 12th, ahead of Harvard and Yale.</p>

<p>If you want to register on the National Jursit website (free) you can read the article which explains the methodology rather than relying on a University of Chicago law professor who was probably offended that UA, LSU, Texas Tech, etc. ranked so high.</p>

<p>All ranking are flawed and dubious, in my opinion, but I thought that it was interesting that a publication that touts itself as the “The Voice of Legal Education” would rank UA so high.</p>

<p>While we’re on the subject, could someone explain this program at UA?

<p>I wonder how strong UA is in patent law?</p>

<p>Edjumacation…</p>

<p>I don’t know the answer, but very likely Jami Gates does or knows who you need to talk to. She worked in the HC for years and now works for the Law School.</p>

<p>She’s SUPER nice and won’t mind answering an email from you.</p>

<p>Edjumacation: My son said that if your student has the qualifying numbers from the SAT/ACT and the GPA, he does not need to take the LSAT for admission consideration. That said, there is also no scholarship money given without that LSAT.</p>

<p>Does “resident seniors in the HC” mean Alabama resident?</p>
