Falling down the rankings, after law schools reacted to the U.S. News and World Report rankings. Boston College Law School dropped 10 places since 2010 in the U.S. News and World Report rankings which were released last week. Between this year and last year, the law school dropped five places. “A decline maters,” said Dean Vincent Rougeau. “It’s disappointing to everyone when it happens.” He added that the rankings provide schools a way to understand how they are perceived outside the institution. Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law also faced a dramatic decline, falling 27 places. American University Washington College of Law also fell in the rankings.
