The Green Bag Announces A New Ranking System - The Deadwood Report

March 3, 2008

The Green Bag will launch a new ranking this spring called the Deadwood Report.  This annual report will assess “whether faculty members do the work that the law schools say they do.”  The editors explained that law schools “generally hold themselves out as institutions led by faculties whose members are committed to teaching, scholarship, and service….The Deadwood Report will simply test the accuracy of that picture.”    For many more details, including methodology and reaction from law school officials, read this article from Inside Higher Education & this SSRN article.
