How Engaged are Law Students? - 2007 Survey Results

Marie Rehmar, Head of Reference Services, marie.rehmar@law.csuohio.edu | January 04, 2008 - 14:53

The recently issued 2007 Law School Survey of Student Engagement report aims to provide law schools with insight into the actions and feelings of their students. More than 27,000 law students at 79 U.S. and Canadian law schools completed the online survey on which the report was based. The study looks at law student participation in class, involvement in law school organizations, interaction with professors and more. Comparisons are made by age and race of the student, as well as law school characteristics such as public vs. private, size and selectivity.

See the Jan. 3, 2007 Chronicle of Higher Education article by Sara Lipka "Younger Law Students Report More Collaboration and Older Students More Diligence in Survey of Engagement" for highlights of the report.

Millennials & Racial Disparities at Law Schools

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | January 04, 2008 - 11:34

Many of the C-M Law faculty and administration are away in New York City attending the Association of American Law School's (AALS) annual meeting.

And in some of the sessions, they're learning about connecting with Millennials and the decline in diversity in law schools. In Generation Gaps and Racial Disparities Draw Concern at Meeting of Law-School Officials in today's Chronicle of Higher Eduction, Katherine Mangan reports on the merits and flaws of law school Millennials and on the steady decline in law school diversity. On the diversity front, she notes this website at Columbia that pinpoints the declining enrollment of African Americans and Mexican Americans despite steady application numbers, improving application quality and increasing law school class size and total number of law schools.
