With the help of America’s most prominent critic of U.S. News and World Report ranking of American Law schools – Brian Leiter, Maclean’s OnCampus has come up with its second Annual Ranking of Canadian Law schools (2009). Their goal is to objectively assess each school against recognized measures of faculty quality and graduate employment quality.
The ranking is equally determined by faculty quality and graduate quality.
They measured Canadian Law School graduate quality using the following criteria; (1) Elite Firm Hiring-20%, (2) National Reach-10%, (3) Supreme Court Clerkships, and (4) Faculty Hiring-10% . Fifty percent of Faculty Quality is Measured by Faculty Journal Citations.
Here’s the List:

I cant believe that some of the internet pages I have been taken to by stumblupon (only just now this specific internet site) I was seeking to pass a few dull 60 minutes away, when stumbleupon brought me right here. What a magnificent website you possess I am so delighted to have seen it I have just spent the previous 20 mins working through a few of your articles and reviews, and have in addition bookmarked some of them. I will certainly be back again in order to learn a bit more when i have atiny bit more time.
