You don't have to rely on fuzzy images of early-released copies any longer.  The 2009 rankings are now up on the U.S. News web site. 

Of note this year is that third and fourth tier schools appear to be listed by rank order (at least in the online edition).  In the past, schools outside of the top 100 were simply listed alphabetically within each tier.  With all the attention paid to the top 100 schools, people forget that just shy of half of all accredited law schools fall outside of the top 100, so the new ranking will have greater significance for those schools.  For what it's worth, the third tier rankings start here.
