The Supreme Court does in fact read and interpret the law. They do not, however, create the law. Yes Marbury v. Madison calls for a broad interpretation of the Constitution, but to say that it lends the Court the power to create a system by which to measure law schools, I believe, is a misapplication of Marshall's intent. Further, Sweatt v. Painter dealt with the Fourteenth Amendment, establishing that "separate but equal" within law school admissions is unequal. I will give you that this is a creative way to settle a rivalry, however, I would not go as far as to say the Court set forth a measurement for Law schools.

I'd also add to #5 in terms of "and similar activities" that there are probably more students at HLS involved in (high-quality) secondary journals than there are students enrolled in YLS total. Look beyond journals to practice organizations, etc. and the pattern of increased opportunities probably continues. Hahaha well put, Dan.
