Dear Nelson, 

The Princeton Review lists schools, in its advance search by "easiest

User's Guide to Our Law School Ratings

Every law school on PrincetonReview.com has at least one rating, and
some have as many as five. Wondering what these numbers are all about?
You've come to the right place. Here we explain the factors on which
each rating is based, what each rating measures, and how each rating
is scaled.

But first, here's something you should keep in mind about ALL of our ratings:

Each rating places every law school on a continuum for the purpose of
comparing all schools within this academic year only. Because we
refine our rating calculations annually, the ratings in The Best 159
Law Schools are not intended to be compared directly to those that
appeared on PrincetonReview.com in any other academic year or to those
in earlier editions of the book.

Four of the five ratings are based either partly or entirely on law
school student opinions collected with our law student survey. Only
the law schools featured in The Best 159 Law Schools whose students we
surveyed receive these four ratings. All schools in our database whose
administrators complete our annual Law School Data Set (which includes
admissions statistics, among other data), receive an Admissions
Selectivity Rating.

If a 60* appears for any of a law school's ratings, it means that the
school did not report all of the data points upon which that rating is
based, and that, as a result, we were unable to calculate an accurate
rating for it. In such cases, the user is advised to follow up with
the school about specific measures that the rating takes into account.

Rating for All Law Schools on PrincetonReview.com

Admissions Selectivity Rating
This rating measures the competitiveness of admissions at each law
school. Factors taken into consideration include the average LSAT
score and undergraduate GPA of entering 1L students, the percentage of
applicants who are accepted, and the percentage of applicants who are
accepted and ultimately enroll. No student survey data is used in this
calculation. The rating is on a scale of 60 to 99. This rating is
intended to be used to compare all law schools featured within this
academic year, regardless of whether their students completed our law
student survey. If a law school has a relatively low Admissions
Selectivity Rating, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is easy to
gain admission to that law school. (It's not easy to get into any
ABA-approved law schools, really.) A low Admissions Selectivity Rating
simply means that the school scored lower relative to other schools
based on the criteria outlined above. "

The following schools are listed with the lowest admission selectivity
rating, (My search: <://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Admissions+Selectivity+Rating%3A%22+lsat+site%3Aprincetonreview.com&btnG=Google+Search>):

(60) Southern University

(60) Touro College
<http://seventeen.princetonreview.com/law/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1035920&ltid=5&iv_arrivalSA=1&iv_cobrandRef=0&iv_arrival_freq=2>

(67) Thomas M. Cooley Law School
<http://www.princetonreview.com/law/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1035947&ltid=5>
This school is willing to accept candidates without a Bachelor degree,
which is naturally rare in ABA-accredited schools (I xcan vaguely
remember that the University of Wyoming does too, in some
circumstances; but this is vitually almost non-existant).

(67) San Joaquin College of Law 
<http://jostens.princetonreview.com/law/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1035913&LTID=5&intbucketid=>

(68) Appalachian School of Law
