Twenty Additional Law Schools Accused Of Cheating On Employment Figures

New York lawyer David Anziska has been one of the attorneys pushing litigation against law schools over inflated or erroneous employment figures. He has now released a list of 20 law schools accused of fudging the books. Two top 50 schools — Pepperdine and American University — are listed. No evidence for the inclusion on the list has been given and these schools have not had the opportunity to respond. Some of the schools have been previously accused of such fudging of data in the now hyper-competitive annual rankings.

It is not a good listing for religiously-affiliated schools, particularly Catholic-based schools: Catholic University; Chapman University School of Law; Loyola Marymount University Law School; Loyola University Chicago School of Law; St. Louis University School of Law; St. John’s University, University of St. Thomas School of Law; and Valparaiso University School of Law. That is forty percent of the targeted schools.

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
