The crown jewel at Pepperdine Law School is our Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, which has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the #1 dispute resolution program in American law schools for an unprecedented 11 consecutive years.
I received in the mail my ballot for the 2017 U.S. News Tax Rankings (2016 U.S. News tax rankings). As in prior years, the survey is intended “to identify the law schools having the top programs in tax law.” The survey is sent “to a selection of faculty members involved in tax law programs. Law schools supplied the names of these faculty members to U.S. News in summer 2015.”
The survey instructs voters to “[i]dentify up to fifteen (15) schools that have the highest-quality alternative dispute resolution courses or programs. ln making your choices consider all elements that contribute to a program’s academic excellence, for example, the depth and breadth of the program, faculty research and publication record, etc.”
