SNAPSHOTS FROM HOME This is part of a larger story about a general decline in the number of people applying to law school this year. UD isn’t sure what to make of it: Among the 19 responding schools, the one receiving the greatest number of applications for the upcoming year was George Washington University Law School, with 11,500 applicants. Its first-year class, at 530, represents 4.6 percent of its applicant pool. George Washington also had the second-biggest incoming class, next to Harvard, where 559 students will start law school this year, representing 7.8 percent of the 7,129 applications it received. She could cite the obvious stuff, like location and political connections, but these have always been there. Is it because GW law school lately has a lot of very high-profile faculty members commenting in very high-profile media outlets on all sorts of things going on in the country? |
