Poppin' the trey

Northwestern has the #3 law school in the country, according to former TFAL employer Princeton Review and TaxProfBlog (whom I have never worked for). Why does NUSL do so well in these rankings while remaining #12? This new survey includes data on how interesting and accessible professors are while not including "prestige" surveys from lawyers and professors at other law schools

Does it matter? To quote Ricky Bobby's father, "if you're not first, you're last."
