@DaveHiggins Rankings matter with regards to law school journals. At my school, Loyola Uni New Orleans, the top 33% are invited to join the Maritime Journal, the top 20% are invited to Public Interest, and the top 10% get Law Review invitations. I know I didn't make the top 10, and Public Interest hasn't published the past couple of years.

Your story sounds as though it could challenge the creator as well!
