5 Consultant's Dig. 1 (1995)

handle is hein.journals/cnsldig5 and id is 1 raw text is: Fall 1994 Review of Legal Education Available Shortly he Fall1994 Annual Review of Legal Education has been sent to print and will be released by the middle of May. The Review contains public information about law schools including program information, enrollment, number of faculty, tuition and more. Also included are aggregate numbers of degrees awarded, admissions to the bar, and LSAT administrations beginning with 1963 and continuing to the present. Minority enroll- ment broken out by ethnic origin is also listed beginning with 1977. The statistics related to the number of teachers, administrators, and librarians was gathered in an entirely different manner than in prior years. In an effort to standardize the definition of full-time faculty and achieve summary data that would be uniform from school to school, the ABA provided law schools with software that allowed them to enter individual employee data including: title, tenure status, compensation, etc.. The soft- ware then sorted through all the staff and faculty information and summarized it into the categories that have been collected in prior years. One effect of this process is that ad- ministrators who teach were excluded from the full-time faculty count and hence, the number of actual full-time faculty decreased continued on page 2 COFILE Sttqd Completed he Joint Commission on Financihig Legal Education (COFILE) has as- sembled longitudinal databases con- taining ABA annual questionnaire informa- tion dating back to 1974. The Office of the Consultant automated the annual survey in 1988, therefore data was available online from 1988 to the present, although considerable effort was required in order to consolidate multiple database structures into common file layouts. For years prior to 1988, law school statistics were hand entered for each school from questionnaires into the common data- bases for every fifth year going back to 1974. In all, the committee established nine years worth of annual questionnaire information for their use in examining issues surrounding financing legal education. The Office of the Consultant would like to update these files annually as new data becomes available so that analysis can be easily conducted on a multiple year basis. May 1995 Consultants Digest I
