Silver, et al., "Gaining from the System: Lessons from the Law School Survey of Student Engagement about How Students Benefit from Law School"

Article by Carole Silver, Lindsay Watkins, Louis Rocconi & Heather Haeger. Abstract:

This paper considers the factors that influence law students’ assessment of their development professionally and academically during law school. It uses responses of 5,612 third- and fourth-year law students to the Law School Survey of Student Engagement to identify student activities and behaviors that influence professional and academic gains; individual and law school characteristics also are examined. Four aspects of the law school experience emerge as common influences of students’ professional and academic development.
