Tier One schools, which include such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Virginia and Duke, are ranked according to a score that takes into account the selectivity of the school's admissions, the resources spent on instruction, the reputation of the program nationally, and a number of other, similar factors.
George Mason University School of Law joins its sister institutions, the College of William and Mary and the University of Virginia, in the U.S. News and World Report top tier.

 George Mason University School of Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Mason University School of Law is the law school of George Mason University, a state university in the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia.
The school was founded in 1972 as the International School of Law, a private institution in Washington, D.C. In 1979, GMU acquired the school, which by that time had obtained provisional accreditation by the American Bar Association, and moved it to Arlington.
The school is home to one third of the scholars who have been recognized as "founding fathers" of law and economics (Palgrave, 1998).

The Law and Economics Center at George Mason University School of Law is one of the biggest sponsors of judicial educational programs-"not junkets," according to the school's dean-and has earned the law school wide recognition because of the hundreds of judges who have attended its programs.
The Law and Economics Center, which is "part of the law school," according to Polsby, has a policy of not disclosing its funding sources to the public or to judges who attend its programs.
Francis Buckley, a law professor at George Mason University and the director of the Law and Economic Center Foundation, said that the "crucial thing to look at" was that no single corporation donated more than 2% of the center's $1.67 million annual budget.

 George Mason University, School of Law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
George Mason University is a rather large, public institution located in the town of Arlington, Virginia just outside of Washington D.C. The university has a combined graduate and undergraduate population of over 20,000 students, however, the university's school of law is significantly smaller, and is home to about 723 graduate law students.
The school has a very manageable student to faculty ratio of 15:1, and the small classes ensure that there is plenty of discussion between professors and their students.
Students at the school of law don't seem to be too worried about job prospects after graduation; in fact, over 99% of the most recent graduating class were able to find jobs within a few months of receiving their degrees and had an average starting salary of about $73,947.

 Proof for George Mason Law School, Law & Economics Vol. 7 No. 2
In particular, the school of thought known as "public choice" - which holds that governmental entities, like private firms, will act in their economic self-interest - began to influence both legal theory and competition policy.
Indeed, a close examination of recent state action case law suggests that public choice thinking has driven a slow, but consistent, evolution of the doctrine toward less deference to state regulators and more careful assessment of the actual incentives that drive their decision-making.
Although the precise direction of substantive competition law is unclear, the overall effect is higher levels of regulatory activity.
