2005 The Whitest Law School Report

Professor Vernellia Randall (Dayton) has released
"2005 The Whitest Law School Report; and Other Law
School Rankings Related to Racial/Ethnic Diversity in Law School"
on her web site. According to Randall, the purpose of the report is
to provide:

*an alternative method to measure the extent that whites are
over-represented in law schools
*a way of measuring change and progress in equitable representation
of traditionally discriminated against racial groups
*a mechanism of comparing law schools training of a racially
representative group of lawyers as we move toward becoming a
"nation of minorities"; and
*provide information on the status of traditionally discriminated
against racial groups in law schools.

The 2004 report is also available on Randall's web site.
