The ranking accorded to a school of law by US News is one barometer of its capabilities. Historically, however, US News has not given explicit weight to the benefits accruing to law students who participate in multidisciplinary programs taught in other colleges at the same university.
CRE has under consideration a recommendation to US News that for those law schools which offer a joint program with a school of public affairs or related discipline that the said rankings for both the law school and the school of public affairs should be enhanced accordingly.
