Student Engagement in Law School: In Class and Beyond. Annual Survey Results, 2010
Law School Survey of Student Engagement
The Law School Survey of Student Engagement (LSSSE) focuses on activities related to effective learning in law school. The results of this year's survey show how law students use their time and what they think about their legal education experience, while simultaneously providing guidance to law schools seeking to improve engagement and learning. The findings on the law school student experience reported in this report are based on responses from nearly 25,000 law students at 77 law schools who completed LSSSE in spring 2010. Results from several sets of experimental questions appended to the 2010 survey for a subset of respondents also are drawn upon. This study features three themes: (1) "From Law Student to Lawyer"; (2) "Understanding Motivation"; and (3) "Outside the Classroom". (Contains 6 tables, 8 figures and 18 notes.) [For the 2009 annual survey results, see ED512516.]
