...released U.S. News & World Report ranking of U.S. law schools placed Yale ahead of Stanford and Harvard based on the percentage of 2007 graduates from each school who received employment as judicial clerks. Clerks are assigned to one judge or justice and are charged with reviewing briefs and conducting research for pending cases. The ranking system takes into account both the percentage of graduates employed as clerks in any court and the percentage of graduates employed as clerks in Article III courts, which include the U.S. Supreme Court, the 12 U.S. Courts of Appeals, and the 94 U.S. District Courts...
...students already have a separate lounge area for themselves in Jefferson, Bhatt said. The committee is experimenting with the idea of having graduate students hold office hours in the new undergraduate study.Bhatt said she hopes the study will encourage concentrators—who typically find themselves dislodged from the research sector of the department—to venture from their dining hall haunts and become more involved in the department.“There is a huge disconnect between physics undergraduates taking classes and the rest of the physics community,” Bhatt said...

He often defends himself by claiming that Imperial is ultimately “unknowable.” And “Imperial,” too, teems with such limitless detail that no reader could possibly absorb...
...didn't take police long to pinpoint a suspect in the grisly murder of Annie Le, the 24-year-old Yale graduate student found dead in a research lab Sept. 13 - the day she was supposed to be married. Almost immediately, suspicion congealed around Raymond Clark, 24, a technician with access to Le's lab, who had reportedly entered the building as many as 10 times the day she disappeared and bore suspicious wounds on his chest, arms and back. Clark was arrested Sept. 17 and charged with murder. As investigators soon learned, there was little in his past that...
