Law School Survey of Student Engagement

From the Cornell Law Library InSite
electronic newsletter, 1/06/2006:

"Begun in 2003 and inspired by the undergraduate National
Survey of Student Engagement, the Law School Survey of
Student Engagement (LSSSE) gives law schools an idea of how
well students are learning and how they are engaging
in the law school experience. This survey covers over
40,000 students from seventy-three different law schools
located in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada.
Designed to provide data to law schools to improve
legal education, enhance student success, inform accreditation
efforts, and facilitate benchmarking efforts, the aggregate
data from this survey is made available to the public at no
charge through the LSSSE's website. Each participating law
school privately receives its own institutional data for analysis;
this information is not publicly available. The LSSSE website
provides visitors with overviews, annual reports, and a list of
participating law schools for each year of the survey. "
