Over at PrawfsBlawg Adam Kolber started an interesting thread about the front-page story in today's WSJ (I was unable to find a link to the full story) on law school efforts to game US News rankings. Such efforts, of course, are legion and increasingly well-understood among legal educators. I'll only note that the WSJ piece quotes the ELS Blog's very own Bill Henderson and features Tom Bell's (Chapman) empirical research on the rankings.
