Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study presents detailed data on the level of interest of college undergraduates in the USA in going to law school with data broken out by many personal variables including academic major, gender, age, income level of family of origin, SAT/ACT scores, political convictions, race/ethnicity, religion and many others. It also breaks out interest in law school by the institutional variables of type or Carnegie class, public/private status, tuition level and total enrollment. Data in the report is based on a survey of 1,289 full time college students at 4-year colleges in the United States. In open ended questions, survey respondents name the academic major that they feel would best prepare them for law school and the law schools to which they are most likely to apply. Law schools mentioned are tabulated by the ACT/SAT scores of the survey respondents so that end users of the report can find out how many times particular law schools were mentioned as likely application targets by students at different levels of standardized test results.Just a few of the many findings of this report were that: ?Broken out by gender, nearly three times as many men as women in the sample had already applied to law school.?Sixteen students in the sample planned to apply to Harvard Law School, the most of any school in the sample.?Students who grew up in small cities with fewer than 350,000 inhabitants were significantly likelier to be interested in going to law school than those who grew up in major cities, suburbs or rural areas.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law School Survey of Student Engagement (LSSSE) documents dimensions of quality in legal education and provides information and assistance to law schools and other organizations to improve student learning. LSSSE annually surveys law students to assess the extent to which they engage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. This paper presents findings from the first annual LSSSE. More than 13,000 law students from 42 law schools filled out the LSSSE survey in spring 2004. Promising findings include: (1) About 4 in 5 (82%) law students rated their law school experience "good" or "excellent," and a similar number (79%) would "probably" or "definitely" attend the same law school; (2) Two-thirds (68%) of law students spent more than 20 hours per week preparing for class, and 87% came to class with their readings or assignments completed; (3) Almost 9 in 10 (88%) students said their law school, to a substantial degree, emphasizes studying and spending time on academic work; (4) Three-fourths (76%) of students indicated their school placed a substantial degree of emphasis ("very much" or "quite a bit") on the ethical practice of the law; (5) Most students (94%) were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the library assistance at their law school; (6) Four-fifths of students had, or plan to have, a clinical internship or field experience while in law school; (7) About 74% of law students frequently ("very often" or "often") integrated ideas from various sources into papers or projects; (8) More than four-fifths (82%) of law students reported that their classes placed a substantial amount of emphasis ("quite a bit" or "very much") on applying theories or concepts to practical problems; (9) Part-time law students viewed their campus environment as equally supportive as their full-time counterparts; (10) More than half (56%) of students frequently ("often" or "very often") had serious conversations with students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds; and (11) Almost all students (96%) at least occasionally asked questions in class or contributed to class discussions. Disappointing findings include: (1) About one-third (32%) of students never discussed ideas from their classes or readings with a faculty member outside of class; (2) More than half (56%) of 3L and 4L students had not participated in volunteer or pro bono work in law school; (3) About 1 in 5 students (18%) say they "never" get prompt written or oral feedback from faculty members; (4) More than half (56%) of students reported that they will incur $60,000 or more of educational debt by the time they graduate from law school; (5) About 6 in 10 (63%) students said their law school gives little emphasis to providing the support needed for a successful employment search; and (6) Half of students are "unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied" with the job search help and career counseling their law school provides. A list of notes is included. (Contains 5 tables and 4 figures.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law School Survey of Student Engagement (LSSSE) focuses on activities that affect learning in law school. This year's results show how law students spend their time, what they think about their experience in law school, and guide schools in their efforts to improve engagement and learning. The selected results are based on responses from more than 33,000 law students at 95 law schools in the U.S. and Canada who completed LSSSE in spring 2011. Promising findings include: (1) The vast majority of students rated their overall law school experience favorably; 83% reported that their experience in law school was good or excellent; (2) Eighty percent of students said that they definitely or probably would attend the same law school if they could start over again; (3) Students with high levels of law school-related debt more often used and were satisfied with career support at their law school. Of students who expected to owe more than $80,000 in law school-related debt after graduating, 64% used and were satisfied with job search support, and 84% used and were satisfied with career counseling at their school; (4) Nearly 80% of students discussed their career plans with faculty at some point during law school; (5) Ninety-three percent of students have had serious conversations at some point during law school with students who are very different from themselves in terms of their religious beliefs, political opinions, or personal values, and 62% of students have had these conversations frequently; (6) A large majority (91%) of students have had serious conversations during law school with students of a different race or ethnicity; (7) Nearly four in five students (79%) reported that their law school placed a substantial emphasis on encouraging the ethical practice of law; (8) Half of students (51%) rated their relationships with faculty very highly (6 or 7 on a 7-point scale) in terms of availability and helpfulness; and (9) Nearly nine in 10 students (88%) felt that their law school experience contributed substantially to the acquisition of a broad legal education. (Contains 6 tables, 8 figures and 20 notes.) [For "Student Engagement in Law School: In Class and Beyond. Annual Survey Results, 2010," see ED514585.].
