UST in Top 10 for "Best Professors"


Great News! The Princeton Review ranked the University of St. Thomas in the Top 10 for "Best Professors." We were #8. Filling out the top 10 were the University of Chicago, Duke, Stanford, the University of Virginia, Wake Forest, Boston University, Pepperdine, Mercer, and Loyola. The results were based on a poll of law students.

Baylor Law retained its #1 spot for "Most Competitive Students" (the rest of that top 10 contained BYU, Thomas Cooley, Nova Southeastern, Campbell, Regent, Whittier, Roger Williams, Southern University, and Hastings). I'll admit to being somewhat baffled by what "Most Competitive Students" is supposed to be measuring. If it means that the students compete with one another (which has negative connotations), I will repeat something I said in my last lecture there: What I saw was Baylor Law students supporting one another at the toughest times, and a culture that simply pushed them to be good lawyers, not the kind of petty competition found at some schools.
