2007-08 Survey Report Overview


This report tabulates the results of the 2007-08 Center for the Study of Applied Legal Education (CSALE) Survey of Applied Legal Education. The results provide valuable insight into the state and nature of applied legal education in areas including program design and structure, pedagogical techniques and practices, common program challenges, and the treatment of applied legal educators in the legal academy. And because the Survey will be repeated every three years, the results reported herein provide the "baseline" for examining the growth and development of applied legal education going forward. The report can be downloaded using the link to your left.


The Survey was composed of two distinct parts. A single Master Survey was directed to each of the 188 ABA fully-accredited U.S. law schools, 145 (77%) of which responded. Each school was, in turn, asked to distribute the Staffing Sub-Survey to every applied legal educator teaching there. Three-hundred and fifty-seven applied legal educators at 70 law schools responded. You can download the Master Survey here and the Staffing Sub-Survey here.
