<p>Is WashU’s Law School any good compared to top 20 law schools?</p>
<p>between rank 15 and rank 30, i’d say there’s very little difference. wash u may not have the traditional clout that vanderbilt may have or the academic reputation that W&L enjoys, but it’s still a quality education in an emerging legal market and places reasonably well in NYC. it’s also been investing heavily in its law school and st. louis is a great place for young folks i hear. at the same time, i don’t see it cracking top 20. but that’s meaningless. only stat that’s meaningful for law school is its placement stats. and wash u is very competitive</p>
<p>just cracked the top 20 yesterday (#19)… so I guess now you could say that it IS a top 20 law school</p>
