The University of St. Thomas School of Law was ranked the No. 116 law school in the country by U.S. News and World Report this year, up 16 spots from last year. But that increase may be due to an error the Minneapolis school made when reporting its employment rate.
Law school administrators said this week that they accidentally reported to U.S. News that 80.6 percent of the class of 2010 had found employment at graduation, when the actual figure was 32.9 percent. The school said on its Web site that both the correct and incorrect figures appeared on the school’s U.S. News data report, and that the magazine published the incorrect one. It was not clear whether U.S. News used the incorrect figure in its calculations.
