Yesterday, the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar released the new Standard 509 Information Reports for all accredited law schools. Generally, the news ranges from blah –Kathyrn Rubino noted that law school enrollment remains essentially flat — to lousy (e.g., Keith Lee notes that a dozen schools saw matriculants decrease by over 50% over the past five years).
Yet amid all that, there is one nugget of genuinely encouraging news. As noted by Professor Deborah Merritt, for the first time ever, women constitute a majority (50.32%) of JD students at ABA-accredited law schools.
