Love ’em or hate ’em, the US News rankings are out.  As is well documented, the overall rankings are subject to lots of criticism, and rightfully so.  The specialty rankings are purely peer assessment rankings, which makes them more legit, although I’m sure we can quibble about them too if we want to.

That said, . . . . . the rankings are (drumroll please):

1.  Pepperdine

2.  Harvard

3.  Hamline and Missouri (tie)

5.  Ohio State

6.  Oregon

7.  Marquette

8.  Cardozo

9.  UC Hastings

10. UNLV

Congrats to all.
