One hundred and ninety-six different law schools in the United States, Canada, and Australia have participated in LSSSE since 2004.The objective of this survey is to provide data to law schools to improve legal education and inform decision-making and compliance efforts, enhance student success, facilitate internal assessment and analysis, and support research on legal education. The survey is administered via the Internet to all students at participating law schools.
