Extract

Within recent years our understanding of legal education and the legal profession has been enriched by an increasing number of empirical investigations of legal education. As research interest in this area develops, it is important to assess and to build on past efforts. By serving as a guide to studies on law students, this bibliography is intended to advance that end. We hope that these materials can facilitate access into this field of scholarship and, by so doing, stimulate research on questions that have been raised but not yet answered.
