Course Selection Help

For 1Ls and 2Ls here, it is time for course selection. I am excited, in partnership with Vault and U.S. News & World Report, to announce a set of prestige rankings to guide 1Ls and 2Ls as they choose classes. Please be aware that all of the usual caveats regarding rankings apply - this is only one measurement of the value of the different attributes ranked, and should not be your only guide when choosing classes. Nevertheless, do be aware that the prestige of your classes will affect the quality of your resume. Thus, ignore at your own peril.
