Data on law school admissions, tuition, updated on ABA website


Information about admissions and other matters reported by American Bar Association-approved law schools to the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar and required to be made public under Standard 509 of the Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools is now publicly available.

The material is collected by the section, which requires law schools each year to disclose data in several categories, covering admissions, tuition and living costs, financial aid, class and faculty demographics, employment outcomes, bar passage and other areas. The data can be easily searched and sorted, allowing for school-by-school comparisons and analysis and should be useful to prospective law students, pre-law advisors, media outlets and others who study and write about legal education.

The spreadsheets, explanatory information and the ABA’s database of Standard 509 reports are available at www.abarequireddisclosures.org. Some of this information has been collected and summarized in the News and Announcements section on the section’s website and in its Statistics section. The section’s 509 available reports go back only to 2011 although other historical statistics are available through the statistics link.

 

Police: Naked man tears down neighbor’s holiday decorations
 

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Investigators say a 61-year-old Wisconsin man was arrested for tearing down a neighbor’s Christmas decorations while drunk and naked.

The Green Bay Gazette reports that Gregory Brannigan faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.

A criminal complaint shows Brannigan’s neighbor called police Wednesday after to report that he was naked, kicking her door and tearing down her decorations. The neighbor told police Brannigan appeared intoxicated.

Officers say the Green Bay man was stumbling and told officers he needed to take care of supposed drug dealers in a neighbor’s apartment.

Investigators say a breath test estimated his blood alcohol level at 0.21, more than twice the legal limit for driving.

 

Wayne Law presents Professor Harold Koh
 

Wayne Law will host Professor Harold Hongju Koh to discuss his book, “The Trump Administration and International Law,” from 12:15-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 29. The lecture will be held in Lecture Hall 2242 of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne Law, 471 W. Palmer in Detroit. Koh is the Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law School and its former dean. Koh’s book discusses why Trump, in his first two years, is not “winning” in his effort to resign the U.S. from global leadership, and how the resistance is blunting his initiatives. His book also offers a counter-strategy to preserve the rule of law against the Trump administration’s many initiatives to change the nature of America’s relationship with international law and its institutions. This event is free and lunch will be provided. The RSVP will be available on January 1. For more information contact Gregory Fox at (313) 577-0110 or gfox@wayne.edu.
