That's what I'm wondering too, Julia. Could it just be human's neurotic, compulsive need to categorize and "know" things in a certain order as Holmes has suggested?

Has anyone actually read how the Vault comes up with the rankings? Most of it is based on a survey of what working attorneys think are the most prestigious firms. They just tally up the votes. I suspect that a lot of the prestige comes from none other than the fact that X firm has a GPA cutoff of Y. Many lawyers are probably basing their notions of prestige on "well, I couldn't get hired there with my grades...."
