The one completely opaque element of U.S. News’s rating of law schools is the “assessment score by lawyers/judges.” U.S News doesn’t reveal who gets this survey, or who fills it out. Well, I’d like to know, and I’m sure many others would, too.
So, dear reader, do you get this survey? If so, please email me at deliotb at aol dot com. Please tell me whether you are a lawyer or a judge, and whether you hold any particular position in your field that may account for getting the survey (hiring partner, chief judge, and the like). Also please tell me what city you are in. For example: Joe Blow [or pseudonym, if you must], partner and chair of hiring committee at a big firm, Indianapolis. Finally, tell me if you get these surveys annually, occasionally, or only once, and whether you always, sometimes, or never fill it out.
I promise to keep all responses confidential. If I get enough responses to glean anything useful or interesting, I’ll report back.
