Friday the Indiana Law Blog reported on Indiana Law School rankings and noted:
Indiana's fourth law school, Valparaiso, which was ranked in Tier 3 last year, is now ranked near the bottom of Tier 4.An alert reader, Margaret S. Foster of GREEN & KUCHEL, P.C. in Hammond, has just sent me a note to say [my emphasis]:
Not sure if you looked at something different than I did, but I don’t think that the Tier 4 schools were ranked within the tier. So, Valpo did drop into Tier 4 from Tier 3, but its location at the bottom of the list is because of where it falls in the alphabet.Of course! So obvious now that it has been pointed out to me! And I do remember thinking at the time that Valpo did outrank Whittier, where Richard Nixon did his undergrad work and warmed the bench of the football team, but decided to pass on that. Of course, now I realize that "V" comes before "W." Posted by Marcia Oddi at April 5, 2004 03:06 PM
