NDLS construction webcam

Via e-mail, Derek points out that there's a webcam showing the progress of construction on the new Notre Dame Law School building. Cool!

[yea]

how long till we go up/stop dropping in the rankings?

Given the unusual alignment of events that resulted in last year's horror, we have at least one significant statistic this year (acceptance rate) highly in NDLS's favor, one significant statistic (employment rate) remedied by a marked improvement in career services' reporting and investigation, and, potentially, the opportunity for some improved peer and judicial ratings in light of construction, prominent scholarship and workshops, significant clerkships, etc.

Basically... I'm optimistic, but I think it's the start of an improved period. Probably a bounce back up to the low-20s.

i hope you are right derek... nd mightve been overvalued at 19 a few years ago, but anything higher than 25 is way undervalued. the psychological impact of top 25 is important imo. nd needs to be firmly entrenched in the 20-25 range with an eye for moving upward (which is admittingly difficult since peer assessment ratings seem to have a bit of an anti-conservative bias). i dont want to see that we somehow dropped out of the top 30 next time the rankings come out, that would be a disaster. hopefully, those factors you mentioned come through for us.
