Congratulations are in order for the University of Miami School of Law, which jumped 11 spots on U.S. News and World Report’s annual list of the nation’s best law schools.  As reported in the Daily Business Review, the rise reflects internal changes that led to a better student-faculty ratio, improved job placement rates and better peer rankings from law professors, lawyers and judges.

Equally as important has been the momentum that is being built through communication efforts that “translate the sense that the law school is on the move” to the outside world, expressed Paul Verkuil, UM’s outgoing interim Law Dean.

Lipman Hearne has worked with the University of Miami School of Law on reputation and awareness building. Work with the University of Miami on fundraising communications, internal communications, and the web has spanned almost  a decade.
