I've been resisting the temptation to get into the discussion lighting up the legal academic blogs these days: responses to Brian Tamanaha's post on why non-elite schools (I'm guessing that's what US News calls the third and fourth tier, though perhaps that includes some schools in US News' top 100) should avoid interdisciplinary studies.
