Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education.

This week, I’m parsing the findings of the latest Law School Survey of Student Engagement, which conclude that women law students are keeping up academically, but their quality of life lags behind that of their male classmates. Next up, I’m checking in on UCLA Law’s decision to increase the generosity of its Loan Repayment Assistance Program, following a trend among top law schools. And what about that so-called Trump Bump? It didn’t lead to more people starting law school this fall.
