In a recent interview with Lee Pacchia of Bloomberg News, U.S. News & World Report director of data research Robert Morse explained this years only revision to the law school rankings methodology. Among other things, Morse said he gave different weights to various employment outcomes for class of 2011 graduates.
Morse added that even such limited transparency worries him. Full-time, long-term jobs requiring a legal degree got 100 percent credit.

It was an interesting choice of words.
