So the ranking site, including the new study of "elite" firm placement, are back on-line after the spam attack.  The spam attack occurred shortly after the "Above the Law" blog linked to the new ranking–I’m guessing someone unhappy with their school’s performance is responsible.

UPDATE:  I should note that there is an error (which will be fixed shortly) with respect to Brooklyn Law School:  their (quasi-) ‘per capita’ number (for comparative purposes) should be .18, not .30–they graduate close to 500 per year, whereas we had, wrongly, used initially only the full-time student enrollment figure.
