Helix Bar Review by AccessLex’s Post

almost 3 years since I left the lecture room as a post grad student at the University of Lincoln Law school. back again this Friday at the GIMPA Law School as a guest lecturer sharing insights on the future of law. #LegalEducation #LawPractice #Lawtech #TechLaw

The impact was most pronounced at elite law schools, which experienced diversity reductions between 36 percent and 47 percent. Included in the analysis were prestigious institutions like the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, the University of Michigan Law School. the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law, and the University of Texas School of Law."

A recent study by two law professors, Brian Frye (University of Kentucky) and C.J. Ryan (Indiana University) found that the U.S. News and World Report’s Law School rankings have become increasingly irrelevant for prospective law students. So, Frye has offered up an alternative.
