Update on law school moot court rankings

Recently, I posted some rankings of law schools by moot court performance. A thoughtful reader informed me that these are not the most up to date rankings and that the website name has changed. So, below are the updated rankings for 2007 – I apologize to anyone who bragged about their placement and had it changed. Paul Caron lists the 2008 interim rankings here.
