The University of Georgia leapfrogged over Emory University to become the top-ranked Georgia law school in this year’s U.S. News & World Report law school rankings—as U.S. News revised its methodology to factor student debt into the rankings.

UGA Law ranked at No. 27, two spots ahead of Emory Law at No. 29, placing it in the top-ranked spot for Georgia’s five law schools in the annual rankings released Tuesday. UGA Law jumped up four spots (from No. 31 last year), while Emory Law lost ground, dropping five spots from its No. 24 rank last year.
