Law - "The ABA Is Slowly Coming Around on Law School Transparency"
That is the heading to this entry this morning from Elie Mystal of Above the Law.
[More] See also this post from Ashby Jones of the WSJ Law Blog, that begins:
Do U.S. law schools need to be more transparent with their employment data?Yes. At least that seems to be the growing consensus among everyone in the world — outside of law school deans — who routinely trot out a litany of reasons why providing such data would be burdensome, inconvenient, impossible, etc.
The rationale behind the sentiment: that schools are loathe to accurately reflect their job-placement rates, and that applicants are being sold false bills of goods.
But the push — from blogs and grass-roots organizations, among others — might finally be making some headway.
