Boalt Hall has a superb faculty and always has. A little bit like UChicago. It’s weakness has been among its alumni, practicing lawyers and lack of high profile judges. UChicago is basically running in place. When I came out of undergrad in 1975, Harvard was the pinnacle followed by Yale and then a group of four equals: Columbia, Michigan, Stanford and UChicago. Michigan fell back to be replaced by NYU and Stanford leaped over Harvard. I do not think it was money but prominent alumni on the Supreme Court like O’Connor Rehnquist. UChicago law has never had a graduate on the Supreme Court. It also has fewer applications and a higher acceptance than its peers. Haas is a great school but has both an undergraduate program and PhD program which limit resources available to the flagship MBA program
