Law schools with a high percentage of full-time women and minority faculty members on average had a larger percentage of female students on their flagship law reviews during the last academic year, according to New York Law School Law Review’s 2010-11 Law Review Diversity Report.
“We know that law review membership has strong implications for postgraduation success in the legal field, and wanted to determine whether the composition of a school’s faculty would have any impact on the success of female and minority students on law review,” said Jamie Sinclair, a 3L at New York Law School who worked on the study with classmates Dana Brodsky, Maria Cheung, Kelly Garner, Jamie Sinclair and publisher Marcey Grigsby.
