Can anyone direct me to a list of law schools that do not rank their students? Or just create a list themselves to give me? My e-mail is Jimstark51@hotmail.com

I attend one of these law schools, and we used to use ExamSoft, which was very inconvenient for MAC users. Some rather brilliant students found a clause in some university documentation stating that students can bring a policy discrimination charge against the school, and when they do so, the school muct turn over all its documents about the program with a defined time period. if the school cannot turn over the documents, it must discontinue use of the program. These students alleged that the use of ExamSoft was discriminatory, the school could not turn over all documentation in time, and the use of ExamSoft was disconitnued.

Perhaps I should have made my sarcasm about these schools’ IP law programs a bit more obvious. They’re obviously all top-notch.

Note: Berkeley’s IP law program is No. 1 in the country 10 years running.

I agree that the ranking is certainly not the only factor. Age may be part of it, but at Santa Clara we have a higher than average median student age, and we still use exam software. The cost issue would seem to militate in favor of schools with huge endowments, making it easier for schools like Yale and Stanford to use exam software and harder for schools like mine that have less money.
