This month the annual U.S. News rankings are released.
This year, the law schools at both Duke and Northwestern got the boot from the T10.
The University of Texas at Austin lost its spot in the T14. It's now ranked number 15.
In recovery have been Berkley which has returned to T10 and Georgetown which is back in the T14.

We recognized we were paying a high price for matriculating at an elite program.
