"It was a labor of love. I couldn't be prouder every time I hear of the advice it contains working out. Even more so, I'm proud of the people who've used it to help them make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Alas, as Marcus Aurelius put it nearly two millennia ago, the universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are."
"Not only does this make the U.S. News law school rankings even less useful as a standalone tool for law school applicants than they once were, it also obviates some - though not all - of the strategies outlined in my book to (let's use the right word for it, don't feel bad, this is the evil law school industrial complex we're talking about) manipulate law schools into offering you a full scholarship."
Some guidance provided six years ago has lost effectiveness. U.S. News law school rankings have declined in influence because of criteria changes and many institutions opting out. The reduced reliance on those rankings diminishes the effectiveness of ranking-based tactics for securing generous scholarships from law schools. Certain strategies tied to manipulating school incentives therefore need revision or no longer apply. Practical financial advice, such as buying quality clothing more affordably rather than spending extravagantly on suits, retains value. Overall, some core frugality and scholarship-seeking principles remain useful while specific tactical recommendations require updating to match current admissions and ranking realities.
