Talk:University of Chicago Law School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The school has been in trouble for social discrimination before, specifically with women and the disabled. Should this be mentioned?

[edit] Top 14

I've edited the intro to remove the "legal excellence" parenthetical. I think it could stay - I think it's almost certainly sourceable and could have used a "citation needed" tag for the time being. But in re-reading, I don't think it styllistically adds much, so have cut it. (If you think it does, feel free to put it back in). The "Top 14" I've left in, because I think it adds context (particularly to those with experience with law schools). But I'm open to thoughts on that, too - I'm not sure if it adds more than it takes away in terms of the flow of the paragraph. Any thoughts? --TheOtherBob 05:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Where in either of the two relevant sources cited is a "top 14" notation made? All I see is #5 in one and #6 in the other. Where did the "top 14" come from? Fourteen is a pretty nonstandard number for a selective cutoff, and I think it's probably just more suitable to say that it's #5 by the one source's criteria and #6 by the other, not to mention more accurate and to the point. I think the "legal excellence" statement can be inferred from both the article and the sources, and again I feel it's probably more encyclopedic to simply state where the school ranks and let the reader make the necessary inferences. What do you think?--S0uj1r0 08:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
