How Good is Your Law School?

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:
