I’m surprised Alabama and Tennessee didn’t land on the top 30 southern law school list. Both have excellent law schools. Back when I was taking the LSAT (~16 years ago) both were top 40ish nationally with Alabama slightly ahead of Tennessee.
Tennessee Law School came in at #57 and the Haslam School of Business at Tennessee came in at #43.

Not buying that the Aggie law school is that much of a player.
Oh ok. If you have an alternative ranking criteria, I’m sure it will be interesting.

UF is a great school but no reputable source has it as a top 5 business school (undergrad or grad)

The Texas higher education coordinating board didn't want to increase the number of law schools in the state, so we bought an existing one and completely rebuilt it from the ground up with all the resources available in the A&M system. Any thought that this is the same little school that it started as are wrong. That said, each law school is known for different areas of focus and Im not sure you should compare them as if they were all direct substitutes.

The incubator was an academic in-housing of Silicon Valley culture that was an outgrowth of William Shockley of Bell Labs relocating to CA in ‘57 and the Fairchild Semiconductor exodus that occurred in the 60’s. And any reference to academic environment venture incubating without including Stanford is wrong on first principles.
IC2 stands for "Innovation, Creativity, and Capital". It was the leading authority in US Higher Ed for 30 or more years on entrepreneurship, and more or less invented the "incubator" phenomenon for young companies
I would know, be careful to not assume who your audience is.

Tell him if he visits UF. He must go to Satchel's Pizza. It is insane how good the pizza is there.

Former AUSA myself. Admirable work, but doesn’t give any insight into big law. Regarding your previous post, UVA and Duke objectively crush Vanderbilt (and outpace Gtown) in big law placement. That is an admission coming from someone who is no fan of the Blue Devils or Cavs.

Why does it matter? If you are at Vandy, UVA, or Duke for law, chances are that you are going to get a job wherever you want it, unless you suck at school, which is unlikely if you are at any of those schools to start with
