Party Law School Rankings
Students wanting to attend a top law school according to US News and SubtleDig's Party Law School Rankings should apply to Virginia, Berkeley and Michigan. Law librarians looking for a fun place to work take note. Here's SubtleDig's top 10 party schools with US News Law School Rank noted:
1 Arizona State (55)
2 Tulane University (45)
3 Seattle University (77)
4 Florida State (52)
4 University of Arizona (43)
6 University of Virgina (10)
7 UC Berkeley (6)
8 University of Michigan (9)
9 Arkansas - Fayetteville (94)
10 University of Alabama (30)
Method: "We spammed current law students with a “Please take our survey” email. We considered using the amount of responses per school as a factor in the rankings, as students with enough free time to answer such a frivolous email probably deserve recognition, but we were concerned about punishing schools for spam detection." Responses contributed 90% of the ranking. The other 10%? It was "based on the amount of bars and liquor stores within a one-mile radius of the law school" which produced a bias for schools located in large metropolitan areas. Obviously, this factor needs to be revised to produce more accurate statistics.

Comments
I would like to point out that while the University of Arizona was ranked tied for fourth, we recently hired Dean Larry Ponoroff, Tulane (ranked second) to become our new dean. While there are others who would be satisfied with our number four ranking (and we prefer to think of it as tied for fifth), we are committed to moving up in the rankings. We think Dean Ponoroff will give us just the boost we need. But that ain't all...At AALL I will personally challenge Tori Trotta of ASU (numero uno) to a shots and beers drinking competition. First one to puke wins...or loses...Tori can decide.
