1 Consultant's Dig. 1 (1991)

handle is hein.journals/cnsldig1 and id is 1 raw text is: Consultant Introduces Total Enrollment New Publication W e offer this new publication Consultant's Digest in an effort to bring more current information about legal education to the attention of our constituencies. We anticipate a biannual publication with the May issue containing a variety of reports regard- ing the state of American legal education and the No- vember issue containing information about special studies and workshops. The Consultant's office is a great repository of information concerning legal education in the United States. We believe that there are a variety of subjects about which members of the profession, the professorate and the student consumer seek information. The changing composition of the law student population, the explosion in law school curricular offerings and methodologies, the growth of law school administrative services, and the financing of legal education are but some of the topics to be explored in Consultant's Digest. This publication is then offered in a spirit of sharing. Study on Promotion and Tenure Policies In 1987, the Office of the Consultant undertook a study on policies used by ABA approved law schools in faculty promotion and tenure decisions. Deans of all ABA approved law schools were asked to submit promotion and tenure policies. These submissions, which were often many pages long, were summarized and put into a table. The table was then distributed to deans and other interested parties. Continued on page 8 Increases for Fourth Straight Year T he total number of Juris Doctor students at ABA- approved law schools in the fall semester of 1990 was 127,261, a 2.2 percent increase from the 1989 fall semester. Enrollment of first year students increased .6 percent in 1990. Total overall enrollment (J.D., Post- J.D., and Other) also increased this year by 2.1 percent. A breakdown of the J.D. enrollment statistics shows that the number of women entering law school has decreased slightly this year. Minority enrollment how- ever continues to increase. The percentage of first year women decreased from 42.7 percent in 1989 to 42.5 percent in 1990. Overall women represent 42.15 percent of all law students in 1990, a slight decrease from 42.27 percent in 1989. Continued on page 2
