2015 U.S. News Law School Rankings

I am going to take this moment to guess how the schools will look in the 2015 U.S. News Law School rankings.  The list comes out in a couple months, but that doesn't mean people are not already excited to see what schools will end up where.  Many people enjoy these largely meaningless rankings, and I must say, it's kind of fun to guess where they will be.  So, without further ado, I give you my guesses for the 2015 U.S. News and World Report Law School rankings of 2015.
